What is the best way to manage Grafana dashboards in version control?▼

Managing Grafana dashboards in version control is best achieved by converting them to Go builder code. This enables GitOps-like workflows where dashboard definitions are source-controlled, reproducible, and SDK-ready for review.

Can I reverse engineer existing Grafana dashboards into Go builder code?▼

Yes, you can reverse engineer existing Grafana dashboards into Go builder code. The converter imports dashboards from a live Grafana instance and outputs SDK-ready Go files, allowing developers to document and review dashboard definitions programmatically.

Does the Grafana dashboard converter require any external dependencies?▼

The Grafana dashboard converter operates without external dependencies. It connects directly to a live Grafana instance, imports the dashboards, and generates Go code using the grafana-foundation-sdk builder pattern.

How do I generate grafana-foundation-sdk files from a live Grafana instance?▼

Generate grafana-foundation-sdk files by running the converter against your live Grafana instance. It automatically imports all dashboards and writes the resulting Go builder code to the default imported/ directory.

What output format does the Grafana dashboard to Go code converter use?▼

The Grafana dashboard to Go code converter outputs files using the grafana-foundation-sdk builder pattern. Each dashboard becomes a dedicated function that returns a *resource.ManifestBuilder, stored within the imported/ directory for immediate SDK integration.
