Import Dashboard All Queries Removed

Grafana
1

Why is it, when I import a dashboard into Grafana from the grafana dashboard repo “Grafana dashboards | Grafana Labs” that all the queries that sit underneath a panel are empty?

Any dashboard I import, grafana seems to remove the queries. There are templates that contain panels id like to see the queries to see if i can use them/modify to use but they are always empty.

what version of grafana are you on ?

3

Grafana v11.6.0

Are you using the same identical dashboard datasource name as the one you are importing?

There are following resons to blank the query when import json in grafana

  • Data source name mismatch
    Each dashboard is built against a specific data source name (e.g. “Prometheus”, “Loki”, “PostgreSQL”). If your Grafana doesn’t have a data source with exactly the same name and type, Grafana strips out the queries on import.
  • Missing plugin or panel type
    Some dashboards use community plugins or custom panels. If you haven’t installed that plugin, those panels may import blank.
  • Version incompatibility
    Dashboards designed for older Grafana releases can lose parts of their JSON in newer versions.
    Note :in my case i import windows monitoring panel and select correct datasource(Prometheus) and also run window expoter the query and transformation are present in the panel.

Ahh ha! Thanks for your reply. I didn’t see the Dependencies on the side there on the dashboard homepage. Looks like the dashboards are for a earlier version… like v6 and older.. Ewwww. Thank you.

Where are all the newer dashboards then? Surely the community hasnt stopped creating/sharing new dashboards for v10+ grafana instances? or are people using “https://play.grafana.org/” instead of “Grafana dashboards | Grafana Labs” now?!
