Import Custom Dashboards

You can import a dashboard file to create a new dashboard based on a previously exported one.

  1. From the custom dashboards list, click Import in the menu bar.
  2. Click Choose File and navigate to the previously exported JSON file that you want to import.
  3. Click Open.
  4. Click Import.

If the metrics, nodes, tiers, or applications used in the exported dashboard do not exist in the new Controller environment, warning messages display:

Warning Messages

Even when the metrics are not available in the new Controller environment, your import succeeds and saves the widgets and layout of the dashboard. You can modify the widget properties substituting different metrics to create a similar-looking dashboard in the new environment.
