To import a Grafana dashboard with Terraform, you can use the Grafana provider for Terraform. Here's a general outline of the steps you can follow:

1. First, ensure that you have the Grafana provider configured in your Terraform project. You can do this by adding the provider configuration to your Terraform files:

1
2
3
4

provider "grafana" {
  url = "http://your-grafana-url"
  api_key = "your-api-key"
}

1. Identify the ID of the dashboard you want to import. You can find this by navigating to the dashboard in Grafana, clicking on the settings icon, and then selecting "View JSON." The ID will be part of the URL.
2. Define the Grafana dashboard in your Terraform configuration using the grafana_dashboard resource. Here is an example configuration:

1
2
3

resource "grafana_dashboard" "example_dashboard" {
  dashboard = file("path/to/dashboard.json")
}

1. In the above configuration, replace "path/to/dashboard.json" with the path to the JSON file containing the dashboard configuration.
2. Run terraform plan and terraform apply to import the Grafana dashboard into your Grafana instance.

By following these steps, you should be able to import a Grafana dashboard using Terraform.
