Template to drive future changes in 100+ panels in one go on a dashboard

[Shiva1803]

Hi All,

I have a dashboard with more than 100+ small panels showing the Red, Amber, and Green status of 100+ services.
I have different hosts and sources for each service, so different queries for each panel but the logic is the same.

The problem is if we need to change the logic in the future we will have to change 100+ panel's queries which is quite hectic. Is there a way or template-like mechanism which we can use to make the changes in all the panels in one go?

Thank you in advance.

The other possibility with SimpleXML / Classic dashboards is to have prebuilt panels, however, I think you would still need to add them again to your dashboard, that is, if you have used a prebuilt panel in your dashboard, and you subsequently update the prebuilt panel, it does not automatically update all the dashboards which had been built using the previous version of the prebuilt panel.

Depending on the nature of the change, you could go into source view of the dashboard, copy it to a file, run a conversion / update script on the source, then copy the updated source back to the source view and save it.
