Import Grafana dashboards

Import an existing Grafana dashboard into Better Stack using AI SRE.

Import from a JSON file

  1. In Grafana, open the dashboard you want to import.
  2. Click the Share icon, go to the Export tab, and click Save to file to download the dashboard JSON.
  3. Open a new chat with AI SRE.
  4. Drag and drop the exported JSON file into the message box, or paste its contents, and ask AI SRE to import it. For example: "Import this Grafana dashboard and name it 'Web Analytics'."

Pasting long texts

Pasting long text into the chat automatically uploads it as a text attachment instead of inlining it in the message.

Import directly from Grafana

If you have the Grafana integration connected, AI SRE can import dashboards directly from your Grafana instance.

Simply ask AI SRE to "import the 'PostgreSQL Metrics' dashboard from our production Grafana instance."

In both cases, AI SRE tries to convert the Grafana panels, PromQL expressions, and layout into a new Better Stack dashboard that you can review and edit.

Seeing differences in the dashboard?

Charts and visualization options differ between Grafana and Better Stack. Not all panel types, like gauges or stat panels, have a direct equivalent. AI SRE makes a best-effort conversion.

PromQL queries are converted to ClickHouse SQL, which can alter the semantics of functions like rate() and increase().
