You can 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. Paste the exported JSON into the message box 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 will automatically upload 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 will try 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?

Not all panel types translate. Grafana panels like gauges, stat panels, and tables may not have a direct equivalent. AI SRE will make a best-effort conversion.

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

Datasource access is required. If a dashboard references a datasource that AI SRE cannot access, it won't be able to reproduce the panels.
