Can we export the dashboard in automation way? if someone has any idea except using JSON by clicking on the share button please let me know.  
Can we export a dashboard in the form of node\_exporter and that node exporter we can use in other grafana to import the dashboard?

THANK YOU!!

welcome to the :grafana: forum, @avinashvermajava

are you using a pre-defined node-exporter dashboard from [grafana.com](http://grafana.com) like this one?

Actually, I want to export the Grafana dashboard without using its UI.  
I want to move the Grafana dashboard from one ec2 instance to another one.  
can I do such an action using automation? If yes please let me know.
