Adding new dashboards

To add additional grafana dashboards you can create and export them in the Grafana UI or download them from Grafana website.

Once you have the JSON data for a dashboard we commit it to our git config repository and it will be loaded into Grafana. Dashboards must be saved into cluster/platform/grafana-dashboards/. For example:

1. git add cluster/platform/grafana-dashboards/my-new-dashboard.json
2. git commit -m "Adds my new dashboard"
3. git push
4. Flux will load the dashboard into Grafana where you can see it by following the View active dashboards steps above.
