ok this worked:
{
“dashboard”: {
“description”: “This dashboard contains a set of useful dashboard template variables which can be used in other dashboards.”,
“id”: null,
“timezone”: “browser”,
“title”: “GW Template Variables”,
“uid”: “GWDASH0002”,
“schemaVersion”: 16,
“version”: 0
},
“folderId”: 22,
“overwrite”: true
}

What i’m trying to do is export dashboards created in Grafana 4.6.3 and after a Grafana 5.0.2 upgrade do a get and reformat json so i can import to another Grafana 5.0.2 system. I will keep working on this. thanks for your help.
