Create dashboards from templates

Grafana provides a variety of pre-built dashboard templates that you can use to quickly set up visualizations for your data. These dashboards use sample data, which you can replace with your own data, making it easier to get started with monitoring and analysis.

The templates provide standardized dashboard layouts designed to help you answer engineering or business questions consistently. For instance, the DORA template allows all teams within an organization to measure delivery performance using a widely adopted industry framework.

Selection of dashboard templates

To create a dashboard from a template, follow these steps:

  1. Click Dashboards in the primary menu.

  2. Click New and select Dashboard from template in the drop-down menu.

  3. Select a template.

    The dashboard created includes a banner panel indicating the dashboard is using sample data:

    Tip

    In Grafana Cloud, try working with Grafana Assistant to update the dashboard with your data sources and to create queries.

  7. (Optional) Make any other edits to the dashboard to most effectively display your data.

  8. When you’ve made all of your changes, remove the banner panel.
