# Dashboard API
|
||
|
||
## Identifier (id) vs unique identifier (uid)
|
||
|
||
The identifier (id) of a dashboard is an auto-incrementing numeric value and is only unique per Grafana install.
|
||
|
||
The unique identifier (uid) of a dashboard can be used for uniquely identify a dashboard between multiple Grafana installs.
|
||
It's automatically generated if not provided when creating a dashboard. The uid allows having consistent URLs for accessing
|
||
dashboards and when syncing dashboards between multiple Grafana installs, see [dashboard provisioning]({{< relref "../administration/provisioning.md#dashboards" >}})
|
||
for more information. This means that changing the title of a dashboard will not break any bookmarked links to that dashboard.
|
||
|
||
The uid can have a maximum length of 40 characters.
|
||
|
||
## Create / Update dashboard
|
||
|
||
`POST /api/dashboards/db`
|
||
|
||
Creates a new dashboard or updates an existing dashboard. When updating existing dashboards, if you do not define the `folderId` or the `folderUid` property, then the dashboard(s) are moved to the General folder. (You need to define only one property, not both).
|
||
|
||
**Example Request for new dashboard**:
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
POST /api/dashboards/db HTTP/1.1
|
||
Accept: application/json
|
||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
JSON Body schema:
|
||
|
||
- **dashboard** – The complete dashboard model, id = null to create a new dashboard.
|
||
- **dashboard.id** – id = null to create a new dashboard.
|
||
- **dashboard.uid** – Optional unique identifier when creating a dashboard. uid = null will generate a new uid.
|
||
- **folderId** – The id of the folder to save the dashboard in.
|
||
- **folderUid** – The UID of the folder to save the dashboard in. Overrides the `folderId`.
|
||
- **overwrite** – Set to true if you want to overwrite existing dashboard with newer version, same dashboard title in folder or same dashboard uid.
|
||
- **message** - Set a commit message for the version history.
|
||
- **refresh** - Set the dashboard refresh interval. If this is lower than [the minimum refresh interval]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md#min_refresh_interval">}}), then Grafana will ignore it and will enforce the minimum refresh interval.
|
||
|
||
For adding or updating an alert rule for a dashboard panel the user should declare a
|
||
`dashboard.panels.alert` block.
|
||
|
||
**Example Request for updating dashboard alert rule**:
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
||
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
|
||
Content-Length: 78
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Example Response**:
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
||
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
|
||
Content-Length: 78
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Status Codes:
|
||
|
||
- **200** – Created
|
||
- **400** – Errors (invalid json, missing or invalid fields, etc)
|
||
- **401** – Unauthorized
|
||
- **403** – Access denied
|
||
- **412** – Precondition failed
|
||
|
||
The **412** status code is used for explaining that you cannot create the dashboard and why.
|
||
There can be different reasons for this:
|
||
|
||
- The dashboard has been changed by someone else, `status=version-mismatch`
|
||
- A dashboard with the same name in the folder already exists, `status=name-exists`
|
||
- A dashboard with the same uid already exists, `status=name-exists`
|
||
- The dashboard belongs to plugin `<plugin title>`, `status=plugin-dashboard`
|
||
|
||
The response body will have the following properties:
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
|
||
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
|
||
Content-Length: 97
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In case of title already exists the `status` property will be `name-exists`.
|
||
|
||
