Examples of creating dashboards using terraform and the dynatrace_document

Hello community,

I'm attempting to create dashboards using terraform (we arent going down the path of Monaco). I have been told in order to use the new dashboard app, I would have to use the dynatrace_document which I believe I successfully have. I ensured that I had been using a service accound with all the document related policies. However when creating the dashboard, i am unable to find it on the UI.

I have a feeling it is something to do with sharing. My code is pretty simple.

resource "dynatrace_document" "example_dashboard_v2" {

type = "dashboard"

name = "Example Dashboard v2"

content = local.json_data

}

and the json

{

"version": 15,

"variables": [],

"tiles": {

"1": {

"type": "data",

"title": "",

"query": "fetch logs\n| limit 5",

"davis": {

"enabled": false,

"davisVisualization": { "isAvailable": true }

"visualization": "table",

"visualizationSettings": {

"thresholds": [],

"chartSettings": {

"gapPolicy": "connect",

"circleChartSettings": {

"groupingThresholdType": "relative",

"groupingThresholdValue": 0,

"valueType": "relative"

"categoryOverrides": {}

"singleValue": {

"showLabel": true,

"label": "",

"prefixIcon": "",

"recordField": "timestamp",

"autoscale": true,

"alignment": "center",

"colorThresholdTarget": "value"

"table": {

"rowDensity": "condensed",

"enableSparklines": false,

"hiddenColumns": [],

"lineWrapIds": [],

"columnWidths": {}

"honeycomb": {

"shape": "hexagon",

"legend": "auto",

"dataMappings": { "value": "timestamp" },

"displayedFields": ["content"],

"colorMode": "color-palette",

"colorPalette": "categorical"

"histogram": { "dataMappings": [] }

"querySettings": {

"maxResultRecords": 1000,

"defaultScanLimitGbytes": 500,

"maxResultMegaBytes": 1,

"defaultSamplingRatio": 10,

"enableSampling": false

}

"layouts": { "1": { "x": 0, "y": 0, "w": 20, "h": 6 } },

"importedWithCode": true

}

Does anyone have good examples of how to do this?

Managed to get the above working now. Essentially I was attempting to create dashboards using a service account (our companies pipelines to run the terraform apply) and we were unable to view the created dashboard.: To overcome this you are to add "private = false" in the resource. There was also a bug in the dynatrace terraform provider (which has been fixed in 1.65.0) to ensure that the private flag was fixed

Should it be part of metadata?

"dashboardMetadata": {

"name": var.dashboard_name,

"shared": true,

"owner": var.owner_email,

"private" = false,

"dashboardFilter": {

"timeframe": "-30d to now"

"popularity": 1,

"hasConsistentColors": false
