How to Remove "Ready-made" Dashboards ?

Etienne1 — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 12:34:01 GMT

Hi,

I've searched for a long time to delete the Ready-made Dashboards and I haven't found anything, I even looked in the doc and it says you can't delete them.

Is there really no way to delete them?

Manage dashboards - Dynatrace Docs

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

This is a similar request to this one:

Disable Dynatrace preset Dashboards

There, @zietho from Dynatrace replied with a long explanation on why are we unable to hide this sort of stuff (back then, the topic was regarding Classic Dashboards).

He also posted a way of hiding said dashboards: not an easy nor pretty way, but it works (not quite sure it works on the latest dashboards, as I have not tested it yet).

As valuable as they are, I agree with you: we should be able to hide them (either latest or classic dashboards) in a clear and easy way.

Most users/clients do not like being forced to adopt something that might serve no one, only contributing to noise in dashboard lists and difficulting the accessability to other dashboards.

Unfortunately, you can not upvote the Product Idea since it was marked as "Indirectly addressed".

Hello Pedro,

thank you for your reply.

I'm going to try the method you suggested, and I'll also see if it's possible to delete/hide dashboards via the API.

Bumping this one back, as although there is a trick to "Hide" preset classic dashboards, it doesn't work with the new dashboards.
How could we do it with the new dashboards?

I've already tried using the api but unfortunately it doesn't work. I don't think there's any way of doing it at the moment.

Agreed. We need this option.
