Roll a Dashboard Back to a Previous Version

with Grafana · Analytics & BI Management

Restore a dashboard to a known-good earlier version.

  1. Read the dashboard as it stands today, capturing the current version so the rollback can be described and, if needed, reversed.
  2. List the dashboard's version history, newest first, so the target version can be confirmed to exist and its commit message read.
  3. Fetch the full stored model of the target version. Read this before restoring so you know exactly what is about to become current.
  4. Restore the reviewed version. Grafana applies it as a new version on top of the history rather than deleting anything, so the broken version remains in the record.
What you'll need to have ready
  • dashboardUid: UID of the dashboard to roll back.
  • targetVersion: The version number to restore the dashboard to.
  • limit: How many versions of history to list.
