Manage Dashboards as Code

Define and manage dashboards using the Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes, Dash0 Terraform provider, and Dash0 CLI for version control, workflows, and automated deployment.

Dashboards are Dash0 assets that can be versioned and managed as infrastructure as code. This approach enables version control, automated deployment pipelines, consistent configuration across environments, and code review for dashboard changes.

Dash0 dashboards use the Perses dashboard format, which provides a Kubernetes-native approach to dashboard configuration.

Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes

Define dashboards as Perses PersesDashboard custom resources that sync to Dash0, enabling workflows and native Kubernetes management.

Example

yaml
123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839
apiVersion: perses.dev/v1alpha1
kind: PersesDashboard
metadata:
  name: service-overview
  namespace: monitoring
spec:
  display:
    name: Service Overview
  datasources:
    default:
      name: default
      plugin:
        kind: PrometheusDataSource
  layouts:
    - kind: Grid
      spec:
        items:
          - x: 0
            "y": 0
            width: 12
            height: 6
            content:
              $ref: "#/spec/panels/request_rate"
  panels:
    request_rate:
      kind: Panel
      spec:
        display:
          name: Request Rate
        plugin:
          kind: TimeSeriesChart
          spec:
            queries:
              - kind: TimeSeriesQuery
                spec:
                  plugin:
                    kind: PrometheusTimeSeriesQuery
                    spec:
                      query: rate(http_requests_total[5m])

The Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes watches for Perses dashboard resources in namespaces with a Dash0 monitoring resource deployed. When it detects changes:

  • New dashboard resources are created as dashboards in Dash0
  • Modified resources update the corresponding dashboards
  • Deleted resources remove the corresponding dashboards

Apply and Manage

bash
1234567891011121314
# Apply the dashboard
kubectl apply -f dashboard.yaml


# List all dashboards
kubectl get persesdashboards -n monitoring


# View details
kubectl describe persesdashboard service-overview -n monitoring


# Update the dashboard
kubectl edit persesdashboard service-overview -n monitoring


# Delete the dashboard
kubectl delete persesdashboard service-overview -n monitoring

For more information, refer to the Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes documentation.

Dash0 Terraform Provider

Manage dashboards in your Terraform infrastructure alongside other cloud resources for unified infrastructure management.

12345
# Get a single dashboard as YAML
dash0 dashboards get <id> -o yaml


# Get dashboard details in JSON format
dash0 dashboards get <id> -o json

For more information, see the Dash0 CLI documentation.

Direct JSON Editing

Dash0's "Edit as JSON" feature provides direct access to dashboard configurations in JSON format through the web UI. This capability allows for quick edits and experimentation without committing to code.

The JSON editor can be accessed by clicking Edit as JSON in the top-right corner of the dashboard viewer.

Edit as JSON dialog

Within the Edit as JSON dialog you can see the dashboard source and modify it directly. Changes are applied immediately when you save.

The JSON editor is convenient for:

  • Copying dashboards across organizations and datasets.
  • Executing batch modifications across the whole dashboard (e.g., adapting PromQL queries when an attribute key changes).
  • Quick prototyping and experimentation with dashboard configurations.
