Starting from Grafana v5.2, when you login with the administrator account using the default password you'll be presented with a form to change the password.
|
||||
By this we hope to encourage users to follow Grafana's best practices and change the default administrator password.

Grafana v5.2 adds support for specifying an existing folder or create a new one when importing a dashboard, a long awaited feature since
|

Grafana v5.0 introduced support for dashboard folders and permissions. The import dashboard page have also got some general improvements
|

and should now make it more clear if a possible import will overwrite an existing dashboard, or not.

This release also adds some improvements for those users only having editor or admin permissions in certain folders. Now the links to

It's possible to supply Grafana with configuration through files. This works well with [Docker Secrets](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/) as the secrets by default gets mapped into `/run/secrets/<name of secret>` of the container.
|
||||
|
||||
You can do this with any of the configuration options in conf/grafana.ini by setting `GF_<SectionName>_<KeyName>_FILE` to the path of the file holding the secret.

Let's say you want to set the admin password this way.
|
||||
|
||||
- Admin password secret: `/run/secrets/admin_password`
|
||||
- Environment variable: `GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/admin_password`
