How to export snapshot file from Grafana

In case when it is not possible to share dashboard via https://snapshot.raintank.io/ (for example due to security policies)  next flow could be used to export JSON of dashboard with required data included:

  • Open required dashboard and set the time range which includes time when issue was occurred  and + 2-3 hr before and ahead
  • Click on share button, select Snapshot tab and click on Local Snapshot button.
  • Once snapshot link would be available (will start from /app) click on COPY button
  • Form URL with created snapshot and Sisense domain. Then press Enter. Example:
  • Now snapshot is created and opened - Click on share button again
  • Select the Export tab and click on Save FIle. Snapshot would be downloaded on your local machine

This file could be imported in another Grafana instance as a dashboard with data inside. Such snapshots are very useful in troubleshooting and could be shared with a Sisense Support Team.
