I have a grafana docker image which have hawkular-datasource pre-configured using configuration files.
After after running grafana instance, I have a json given by teammate, which can be imported inside grafana and that json file creates dashboard when imported.
How do I make that dashboards appear by default in Grafana instance?
I tried copying the json file to /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/ folder and created a new docker image. But when I run the image, the instance doesn't contain the dashboard at the homepage or anywhere in it.
How do I add this json file in docker image. Am I following the correct way?
I tried this http://docs.grafana.org/administration/provisioning/ But it didn't help out much. Any suggestion?
Here is the json file.

Upload your Grafana dashboardIn the bottom left panel, click Upload a dashboard. In the Upload dashboard dialog box, click select dashboard. json file to locate the dashboard on your computer. Click Upload dashboard.
One way to display Json data is through grafana's own json datasource (grafana-simple-json-datasource) which would then convert into data. You might want to check if that would meet your needs. One other way would be developing a panel plugin that would plot a graph given the json you give it.
The default folder of the dashboard is /var/lib/grafana . If you navigate to the folder, you will find a file name grafana. db .
I've faced with the same problem and I hope the next solution could help somebody. For example, you have the next working directory:
├── docker-compose.yml
├── grafana
│ ├── Dockerfile
│ ├── dashboards
│ │ └── exported_dashboard.json #dashboard you saved before
│ └── provisioning
│ │
│ ├── dashboards
│ │ └── all.yml
│ └── datasources
│ └── all.yml
Dockerfile you have to add provisioning and dashboards folders into grafana container:FROM grafana/grafana:latest
ADD ./provisioning /etc/grafana/provisioning
ADD ./dashboards /var/lib/grafana/dashboards
provisioning/dashboards/all.yml you have to set path to imported dashboards folder
where exported_dashboard.json is actually placed:- name: 'default'
org_id: 1
folder: ''
type: 'file'
options:
folder: '/var/lib/grafana/dashboards'
provisioning/datasources/all.yml, prometheus, for example:datasources:
- access: 'proxy'
editable: true
is_default: true
name: 'prom1'
org_id: 1
type: 'prometheus'
url: 'http://prometheus:9090'
version: 1
docker-compose.yml:version: '3.8'
services:
grafana:
image: awesome-grafana:latest
build:
context: grafana
ports:
- "3000:3000"
environment:
GF_DASHBOARDS_DEFAULT_HOME_DASHBOARD_PATH: "/var/lib/grafana/dashboards/exported_dashboard.json"
GF_DASHBOARDS_DEFAULT_HOME_DASHBOARD_PATH evironment variable, as shown above.
More about GF_DASHBOARDS_DEFAULT_HOME_DASHBOARD_PATH evironment variable you can read in that github issue.

You should put a YAML file pointing to the JSON files in that folder. For example write /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/local.yml:
apiVersion: 1
providers:
- name: 'default'
orgId: 1
folder: ''
type: file
disableDeletion: false
updateIntervalSeconds: 10 #how often Grafana will scan for changed dashboards
options:
path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards
And then write your JSON file to /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/openshift.json.
Before Grafana 5, my previous solution was to wrap the whole Docker process in a script that uses the API to create the dashboard once the Docker container is up. You can use the GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable to set the password. You can also use GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED, but you'll need to make sure it's not accessible to the outside world.
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true grafana/grafana ...
sleep 10 # wait for grafana to load (use a better method of waiting in production)
curl -skfS -XPOST --header "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:3000/grafana/api/dashboards/db" --data-binary @dashboard.json
