Importing Dashboards
You can import dashboards to MashZone NextGen Dashboard.
The dashboards are saved in a zip file that contains among other things the dashboard definition, resource policy and dashboard permissions. If you import a dashboard including the permissions then the creator of the dashboard can view and edit the dashboard. Importing dashboards without the relevant permissions makes the importer automatically to the creator of these dashboards.
Procedure
1. Open a command window and move to the MashZoneNG-install/prestocli/bin folder.
2. Enter this command:
padmin importDashboards [-l prestoURL] -f input-file -p importPermissions
-u username -w password [-v] [-o]
-f input-file: path and name for the import zip file.
-p importPermissions Imports the resource policy and permissions saved in the import zip file.
If you import dashboards without permissions makes the importer automatically to the creator of these dashboards and the dashboards has no explicit permissions which means that only administrators can see and work with the dashboards.
-o: is optional. Allows to overwrite an existing dashboard in
MashZone NextGen Dashboard.
-l prestoUrl: is optional. Use this if the
MashZone NextGen Server is remote or if it is not running in Tomcat on the default Tomcat port. If you omit this option, this defaults to
http://localhost:8080/presto/esd/api.
-u username: is the
MashZone NextGen username to log in with. This account
must have
MashZone NextGen administrator permissions.
-w password: is the
MashZone NextGen password to log in with.
-v: is an optional flag to turn on verbose logging.
Once the import command completes successfully, you can use the imported dashboards in MashZone NextGen Dashboard.
If you have imported dashboards from MashZone NextGen 3.9 in MashZone NextGen 9.9 then save the imported Dashboards in the edit mode of MashZone NextGen Dashboard before you display them in the view mode. Otherwise an error message will be displayed.
