Panel "Updated by" person who created dashboard

Grafana
1

Hi,

Using a Python script, I add a variable to a Grafana dashboard and update existing panels with new JSON tags to modify their queries. The script works as intended; however, when I navigate to Settings → Versions, the changes made via my script (using my API token) are attributed to the dashboard’s original creator, rather than to me. It appears as though someone else on the team made the modifications, even though the script executed the changes via my token.

I am only using GET and POST requests through the Grafana API.

I also came across this topic on GitHub, which may be related → Dashboards: Dashboard versions list displays service accounts as "Anonymous". · Issue #88400 · grafana/grafana · GitHub

Spot on. Did you upgrade at some point? Notice also linked issue says previous broken pieces will need to be rerun to fix issue in db

Not yet, but I tested it on a test server and the problem actually disappears after upgrading. So I’ll be upgrading soon. Thanks for the reply.
