Ready Made Dashboard json template

[janelle]

I would like to find out if there is some ready made json template to has a quick setup of the dashboard on Dynatrace. I have spent weeks creating from scratch, not sure how does a decent dashboard or nice version dashboard will look like.

Hi,

You can check which dashboards are created in shared tenants:

• https://wkf10640.apps.dynatrace.com/ 
• https://guu84124.apps.dynatrace.com/ 

Best regards

Thanks AntonPineiro, 
the first link wkf10640 works, i am new to this shared tenants, still trying to find out where to download the json file if it is easier to just import into my dashboard to have a quick view. 

but the second link from guu84124, i have a 403 error. 

403 You don't have permission to view this page

It looks like you tried to reach guu84124.apps.dynatrace.com using janelle.lee (email)

You don't have the correct user permissions to access this Dynatrace environment. Please reach out to your admin team.

Regards
Janelle

@janelle I think the second link that you don't have access to is a partner tenant and not everyone might have access to it.

The first should be good to download sample dashboards, you can open any dashboard and download it from the below view

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/dashboards#create-and-edit-dashboards

Also, you don't really need to write the json to build a dashboard, there are different ways you can build a dashboard other than via json, here are some examples

Assume you are looking for new dashboards, not classic.  You can also check out Ready Made dashboards in your companies tenant.

Also, look in community: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dashboarding/bd-p/Dashboarding

Are there certain dashboards you are looking for?

[janelle]

Unfortunately, i have looked through my own dashboard and cannot find "Ready-made". 

I only see options like "All dashboards", "mine" and "Shared with me". That is all. So I thought i should write my own json which is so tedious as a newbie. And therefore, I am searching for sample json that i can get a presentable dashboard to show the health check on my project's backend system. We faced alot of outrages recently, and wish to filter the dashboard through different projects, so that easier to be alert upfront before the incidents grow big. 

Thanks for your kind help.

Are you looking at new dashboards or classic dashboards?  

Please provide screen shot?  I am thinking you might be in classic dashboards.  Are you an admin of the Dynatrace tenant?

[janelle]

 can u help me see if this is new or classic?

[Kenny_Gillette · Accepted solution]

Classic dashboards.  You are on managed which does not have Grail.  

You can try to pull some from here: https://dynatrace.github.io/BizOpsConfigurator/#home

[janelle]

Thanks Kenny_Gillette

Managed to pull some json(s) from the BizOpsConfigurator. 
Am i right to say that this Classic dashboard is old and deprecated since 2020, so we have very limited resources or samples on this? 

Just to try my luck, Hope to ask if it is possible to share the github repo the list of dashboard json samples? 

[Kenny_Gillette · Accepted solution]

Managed is still around.  I found this and you may want to read it.

Here is the community around Managed: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/bd-p/DynatraceManagedQandA

Has your company considered moving to SaaS?  Are you the admin of Dynatrace at your company?

[janelle]

We are one of the customers who has mandatory on-premises requirements. Therefore we must only host on-prem. Thanks for pointing out the Dynatrace Managed Community.

I faced another problem. My Dynatrace version is 1.320.66. 
I try to download the json script from first link wkf10640, but unable to import dashboard into my 1.320.66 dynatrace. 
Is there some incompatibility issue? 

[p_devulapalli]

@janelle What error do you see when trying to import?

[janelle]

I will see error "The dashboard could not be imported. Error: 400: Could not map JSON at 'tiles' near line 1 column 501."

[p_devulapalli]

@janelle Looks to be some issue with the json file you downloaded. Have you tried to download again and import or download a different dashboard?

I guess no changes are being made to json file before importing ?

[janelle]

Hi p_devulapalli
Yes, I tested out without any changes to the json files, which i download from here https://{environmentid}.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.dashboards/dashboards?ownedBy=all-ready...

I attached the screenshots of the differents in term of code snippets (Left yellow is from my existing sample dashboard, and right green is from one of the json from wkf10640.
