Hello, have a dashboards question: On an earlier version of self hosted signoz (i believe 0.66 or so), I was able to include starting dashboards like from the signoz dashboards repo with examples and in the Docker compose file was able to point at a dashboard directory on the mount and those dashboards would be available on a freshly installed and booted signoz instance on ec2 Well, now I've updated to 0.76 version with the combined binary (fresh, not trying to migrate old data) and I'm trying to accomplish a similar thing by pointing the docker file at the common directory now which has the dashboards and I can prove that they are there on the new running signoz container, but when I go into the front end UI and click dashboards, they don't show up like they used to, any thoughts?

Hey @Lucas Thompson thanks for reporting this , let me check on this one, and I'll get back to you cc: @Vibhu Pandey
Could you let us know which dashboards you're unable to import?
l
its not about importing, its about I was able to include .json files in the repo of self hosted signoz i was deploying and they would be there when i first started the app up on a side note, would you be open to us contributing a feature to load in pre-included dashboards at runtime from a folder? what would be the recommended way to do that?

Hey Lucas, Apologies missed this! We have removed support for dashboard provisioning right now. We will re-add support for it once we have a clear direction on how we want to do provisioning.
l
interesting, it was working just fine for me on
0.66
, what was the issue? are there any recommendations you could point me in as a quick work around to turn it back on since I am hosting my own cloned version of your main branch and modifying it as needed? with my full understanding that it would be on me to figure it out, or just wait for you guys to re-implement it?
v
I would suggest waiting. We have a plan to implement support for a variety of provisioning needs such as dashboards, alerts, pipelines etc.
l
okay thanks for the clarification, I was just confused because it wasn't called out anywhere to my knowledge and I was in the middle of updating to current, and was frustrated to have lost that functionality/I thought I was doing something wrong
