opened 01:07PM - 12 Nov 25 UTC

### What happened? We have upgraded Grafana from v11.6.7 to v12.2.1, and we see… entries like below in grafana logs > 1762951986663 2025-11-12T12:53:06.663Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.663396745Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531319 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531319\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986661 2025-11-12T12:53:06.661Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.661118036Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531569 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531569\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986659 2025-11-12T12:53:06.659Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.659111929Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531317 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531317\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986656 2025-11-12T12:53:06.656Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.656183217Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531315 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531315\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986653 2025-11-12T12:53:06.653Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.653450407Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531570 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531570\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986651 2025-11-12T12:53:06.651Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.651463799Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531318 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531318\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986649 2025-11-12T12:53:06.649Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.649256391Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544677282422600242 error="pq: value \"3544677282422600242\" is out of range for type integer" 1762951986646 2025-11-12T12:53:06.646Z logger=provisioning.dashboard type=file name=sidecarProvider t=2025-11-12T12:53:06.646632381Z level=error msg="failed to delete dashboard" id=3544670689547531573 error="pq: value \"3544670689547531573\" is out of range for type integer" Grafana api `/api/search` returns with a json with `id` have big integer numbers. I beleive because of these big number Grafana is not able delete the dashboards because 1. These ids doesn't exists in our Postgres backend 2. Id column is of integer type and doing operator with bigint cause this error in Postgres > { "id": 3.5446761656307036e+18, "uid": "async-di-dashboard", "orgId": 1, "title": "Async | Dashboard", "uri": "db/919323d", "url": "/d/dashboard/919323d", "slug": "", "type": "dash-db", "tags": [], "isStarred": false, "folderId": 3.544395785904273e+18, "folderUid": "eeopzkvf2f0u8f", "folderTitle": "dashboard", "folderUrl": "/dashboards/f/eeopzkvf2f0u8f/dashboard-pr", "sortMeta": 0, "isDeleted": false } **We don't see such issues if we create a new cluster directly on Grafana v12.2.1** We are using Postgres as DB backend and kiwigrid sidecar to read and load the dashboards stored as configmap in kubernetes clusters. We have gone through Grafana Release logs, but couldn't find any details around change in dashboard id format. ### What did you expect to happen? Logs as mentioned `What Happened?` section shouldn't be visible and grafana should be able to delete dashboard successfully ### Did this work before? Yes, it is working with Grafana v11.6.7 and if new clusters are created on Grafana v12.2.1. This is failing during the upgrades of Grafana v11.6.7 -> Grafana v12.2.1 ### How do we reproduce it? 1. Deploy Grafana v11.6.7 2. Create few dashboards using configmaps so kiwigrid sidecar can load them to Grafana 3. Upgrade from Grafana v11.6.7 to v12.2.12. 4. Delete one of the loaded dashboard and Grafana will try to delete that dashboard resulting to error as mentioned above. ### Is the bug inside a dashboard panel? _No response_ ### Environment (with versions)? Grafana: OS: Browser: ### Grafana platform? Kubernetes ### Datasource(s)? _No response_
