The value of dashboard workflows with Git Sync

Creating and editing dashboards in production environments without version control creates risks. Teams lose track of changes, can’t easily revert problematic updates, and lack visibility into who made specific modifications. Traditional dashboard management treats dashboards as mutable objects rather than versioned artifacts.

Git Sync changes this by bringing Git workflows directly into dashboard creation and editing. You can create dashboards in Grafana and immediately commit them to version control, choose between direct commits and pull requests, and maintain a complete audit trail of all dashboard modifications.

Git Sync provides the following advantages for dashboard workflows:

• Create dashboards directly in Grafana and save them to Git repositories
• Choose between direct commits to main or pull requests for team review
• Track every dashboard change with commit messages and author information
• Review dashboard modifications before merging using GitHub pull requests
• Revert to previous dashboard versions when issues occur
• Maintain consistent dashboard standards through code review processes
• Integrate dashboard creation into existing team Git workflows

In the next milestone, you’ll create a new dashboard in a Git Sync provisioned folder.
