Customize dashboard templates with Grafana Assistant
We’ve integrated Grafana Assistant into dashboard templates, so you can now ask the Assistant to help you with the process.
Templates are a powerful way to create dashboards quickly, but they don’t always match your real-world metric names or data sources. The Assistant bridges that gap by:
- Identifying what the template expects (panel types, description, likely data).
- Matching those expectations to the data sources you actually have.
- Creating a dashboard tailored for your environment (and guiding you through any follow-up choices).
This reduces work and makes it faster to create a working, relevant dashboard from a template without the need to manually map metrics and panels.

Note
Grafana Assistant can query a subset of data sources, so customizing with Assistant for other data sources might generate poor results. For an up-to-date list of supported data sources, refer to the Assistant documentation.
