Copy a dashboard

Use case: Copy a Dashboard

This use case demonstrates how to duplicate an existing dashboard by retrieving its configuration and posting it as a new dashboard.

Steps

1. (Optional) List available dashboards

If you don’t already have the dashboard_id of the source dashboard, use this endpoint to list existing dashboards.

GET /dashboards/catalog

Sample response

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "qw5k07W8SYBxp6h1m1EN9",
      "name": "K8s dashboard",
      "description": "A23 updated desc",
      "isDefault": false,
      "isPinned": true,
      "createTime": "2024-10-22T09:28:31.538Z",
      "updateTime": "2025-02-11T11:02:32.534Z",
      "folder": {
        "id": "ebee6dd5-078b-44ca-f901-ba9722b17d6e",
        "name": "Infra"
      },
      "isLocked": true
    }
  ]
}

!!! Note Note the ID of the dashboard you want to copy.

2. Retrieve the dashboard by ID

GET /dashboards/{dashboard_id}

Use the ID from the previous step to fetch the full dashboard definition.

Example

GET /dashboards/qw5k07W8SYBxp6h1m1EN9

3. Copy the dashboard

Take the response from the previous step and remove the following fields:

• id
• createTime- updateTime

Update any fields if needed, then send the remaining data as the body to create a new dashboard.

POST /dashboards
