What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? Grafana * v9.0.3 (023f9251a9) on Mac OS I am using grafana with influx db. Grafana is running on a remote server and I am accessing it trough an vpn. What are you trying to achieve? I am quite new to developing and im trying to set…

So is there no way to automate the snapshot procedure? What I basically want to do is to show the dashboard (which is the car battery charging state) to the customer when they submit their use information on our website, by generating a snapshot link. The dashboard should also be updating every coup…

Pretty sure there are ways to automate this but it is outside of the scope of grafana. The other way is for you to give your customers view only access to their dashboards. Or you can look at reporting if your grafana is enterprise. [image] Reporting

So is there no way to automate the snapshot procedure? You can most definitely automate the snapshot procedure, but what you will get is not a screenshot, which is the word I would use for what you seem to be trying to create. What I basically want to do is to show the dashboard In that cas…

Oke thank you for the advice, I will look into those things. The reason I thought I could generate snapshots with an api as a screenshot is because when you share a dashboard on grafana and go to the snapshot option you get a link to the dashboard which you can then share with people outside the org…

so when you create a snapshot you can create one locally or remotely. I just pushed one here https://snapshots.raintank.io/dashboard/snapshot/9MCcdZS57sgIBBkYhTcKWJKB1np2Snvc?orgId=2 It is not a screenshot per se, it is like a read only view of the grafana dashboard. Is that what you want to shar…

Yes it is that what I want to share, but then generate it automatically in some way

In that case read the documentation for it here, try it out using python and if/when you are stuck after having tried a few things let us know. [image] HTTP Snapshot API Grafana HTTP API

So this ( HTTP Snapshot API | Grafana documentation ) is what I have been reading on and trying to understand for a while. What I do not understand is how do I work with this code? Can I just use it in python? And how do I adapt it for my own dashboard? Thank you

Yes you can use it in python. The first part is the verb and the api endpoint. POST /api/snapshots the second part if what you need to send in that POST Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk S…

No this is the first time. I have already coded in python but not api’s.

Have you tried grafana image renderer plugin?
You just have to post request on your grafana instance (http://grafana:3000/render/d?&someparameters)

This will automatically generate png file on your side.
