Setup guide for scripted dashboards

[franck102]

Hi all,

This question has been asked before but… how do you make a scripted dashboard appear in Grafana??
Someone raised a ticket in 2015 and the answer was

The only way to load scripted dashboards is via the url, /dashboard/script/some_dash.js

… which I don’t understand - how do I set up my UI to load that?

I “scripted.js” example mentioned in the docs is not available anywhere to load in the UI? Does the js file need to be moved somewhere under the installation directory for Grafana to pick it up?

Thanks!
Franck

Scripted Dashboard API access

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

Hi there,

we recently planned to get our hands dirty with scripted dashboards in order to streamline the process of dynamic and programmable dashboard creation. Now reading about that this is a legacy feature, we humbly ask whether this feature even will go away sooner or later or whether it will still be supported for a while?

With kind regards,
Andreas.
