Hey,
I’m trying to provision a v2 dashboard in Grafana 13. Grafana is deployed in Kubernetes, via helm chart. I’ve created a new provider:
dashboardProviders:
v2-dashboard-provider.yaml:
apiVersion: 1
providers:
- name: 'v2-dashboards-provider'
orgId: 1
folder: 'Grafana 13 Tests'
folderUid: ''
type: file
disableDeletion: false
updateIntervalSeconds: 30
allowUiUpdates: false
options:
path: /var/lib/grafana/v2-dashboards
foldersFromFilesStructure: true
When I create a file /var/lib/grafana/v2-dashboards/dashboard.json in Kubernetes format as stated in docs:
I get the following log:
{"error":"Dashboard title cannot be empty","file":"/var/lib/grafana/v2-dashboards/dashboard.json","level":"error","logger":"provisioning.dashboard","msg":"failed to load dashboard from ","name":"v2-dashboards-provider","t":"2026-05-26T12:32:05.92426938Z","type":"file"}
All this while pasting example from documentation. While I create a file using a json model of a dashboard created in Grafana by hand, I get the following log:
{"error":"dashboard appears to be in v2 format. Please use the /apis/dashboard.grafana.app/v2 API","file":"/var/lib/grafana/v2-dashboards/dashboard.json","level":"error","logger":"provisioning.dashboard","msg":"failed to save dashboard","name":"v2-dashboards-provider","t":"2026-05-26T12:32:36.007358861Z","type":"file"}
Did I miss something?
Edit: I’ve also tried git sync feature but for now it ends with:
where those files contain the dashboards in v2 / dynamic schema (it loaded the kubernetes style dashboard from docs, but it’s still dashboard in v1 / old schema).
