Import & export Custom Dashboards
Effortlessly share your custom dashboards within your organization by importing and exporting them, eliminating the need to recreate them and minimizing overhead.
Import a custom dashboard
In the Dashboards List, select Import.
In the popup that appears, select a .json file to upload or paste your copied JSON. If you want to place the imported dashboard in a specific folder, pick one from the folder selector.
Select Next.
Review the dashboard summary on the confirmation step, and then select Import to add it to your catalog.
To revise your input before confirming, select Back to return to the previous step — your uploaded file, pasted JSON, and folder selection are preserved.
If the imported JSON includes a custom URL slug, Coralogix appends _imported to it so the new dashboard does not collide with the slug of the dashboard you exported from. The resulting slug must be unique within your team; if another dashboard already uses it, the import is blocked until you edit the slug in the JSON.
Export a custom dashboard
Open the Export menu from either of these locations:
- The more actions menu on a dashboard card in the catalog.
- The Export button in the dashboard header.
Both menus offer the same three options:
- Download as PDF — downloads the dashboard as a PDF file. For format and layout options, see Save a dashboard as a PDF.
- Download as JSON — downloads the dashboard definition as a JSON file.
- Copy JSON to clipboard — copies the dashboard JSON to your clipboard.
When the dashboard has changes you have not saved, both JSON options show an Includes unsaved changes note, and the exported JSON reflects what is currently on screen.
Download as JSON and Copy JSON to clipboard are unavailable for dashboards that have not yet been saved.
The exported JSON includes the dashboard's custom URL slug, if one is set. The slug is preserved as-is when you use the exported JSON with Replace a custom dashboard. Regular imports append _imported to it instead, to avoid collisions with the source dashboard.
