Does it support UID generation?

Yes, it is designed to generate a new, stable UID derived from the dashboard name rather than reusing the old export UID, preventing conflicts.

How does it preserve the dashboard layout?

It aligns the gridPos.y coordinates and row structures of the source JSON to ensure the visual hierarchy remains identical in the Jsonnet output.

Does this skill handle legacy Grafana panels?

Yes, it automatically modernizes legacy types like 'graph' to 'timeseries' and 'singlestat' to 'stat' during the conversion process.

Can I use the output for manual dashboard imports?

Absolutely. The skill supports a manual import mode that utilizes datasource variables like ${DS_PROMETHEUS} for easy provisioning.

How do I verify that no panels were lost during conversion?

The skill includes a multi-step verification workflow that compares panel and variable counts between the source JSON and the generated Jsonnet.

分析与监控

Converts Grafana dashboard JSON exports into maintainable Jsonnet code following standard mixin conventions and modernization practices.

This skill automates the migration of Grafana dashboards from manual UI exports to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Jsonnet. It streamlines the transition by modernizing legacy panel types, preserving complex row hierarchies, and generating self-contained files that integrate seamlessly with unified Grafana libraries. Ideal for teams adopting GitOps, it ensures that dashboard definitions remain version-controlled, reusable, and consistent with modern observability standards.
