Scripted Dashboard API access

Grafana
1

Hi,

I’m trying to get scripted dashboard working with https://github.com/IzakMarais/reporter.

Everything is working like a charm using classic dashboard, with uid XXXX and api access : community.grafana.com/api/dashboards/uid/XXXX but when it comes to scripted dashboards (instant-generated non-persitant dashboards), things turn out to be more complicated, as I get :
error fetching dashboard 4000: error obtaining dashboard from http://grafana.staged-by-discourse.com/api/dashboards/uid/4000. Got Status 404 Not Found, message: {“message”:“Dashboard not found”}

I tried for set uid in my scripted dashboard script (dashboard.uid is correctly set after this) but it did’nt worked.

UID forced setup :
dashboard = {
_ rows : [],_
_ uid : XXXX_
};

Does anyone already tried this or managed to access scripted dashboards with static uid ?
Question will be also ask on a GitHub issue for IzakMarais/reporter project.

Regards,

scripted dashboards cannot be fetched by id, but by the script file name. Scripted dashboards is a legacy feature that is poorly documented and supported. We do not recommend it’s use, please generate dashboards using https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet-lib and import using api instead

Thanks for your feedback.
Do these grafonnet dashboards allow to use args to be dynamically created, like scripted dashboards do ?
Main goal here is to re-create rrd/PNP4Nagios features for influxdb/Grafana.
