Export/Import datadog dashboards

gistfile1.txt

dash_id=xxxx
api_key=xxx
app_key=xxx

# 1. export
curl -X GET "https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/dash/${dash_id}?api_key=${api_key}&application_key=${app_key}" > dash.json

# 2. edit dash.json
move "graphs", "title", "description" up one level in the json hierarchy, from being beneath "dash" to being at the same level

# 3. import 
curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d @dash.json "https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/dash?api_key=${api_key}&application_key=${app_key}"

Great tips! This was really helpful.

FYI, I found another way to export / import dashboards.

Maybe dashjson is easier but some fields could be missing and might need some patches when you have complicated dashboards.
ouyi/dashjson#1

In case you want to export a dashboard, where "graphs", "title" and "description" is already on the first level, use this command:

curl -X GET "https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/dash/${dash_id}?api_key=${api_key}&application_key=${app_key}" | jq '.dash' > dash.json

I don't have app_key any idea from where can I find this

When I used -d @5052-NonProd.json got following error:

Warning: Couldn't read data from file "5052-NonProd.json ", Warning: this makes an empty POST.

Tried -d ./5052-NonProd.json didn't get any error but dashboard in not imported

I got app_key but now trying to find dash_id ie dashboard id

Now getting this error while importing ie Step 3 import:
