Group and Note Widgets

Strainy opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

It would be great if we could use the "Group" and "Note" widgets on our dashboards. They help organise and explain more complex dashboards.

how do they not work atm ?
does a rake kennel:import dump them ?
do they need dashboards api ?

rake kennel:import just seems to drop the groups unfortunately.
It did import notes from my dashboard, but when attempting to update DataDog the validation failed as the notes don't include a requests property. It ends up importing the note as a graph and validating it as such.

@grosser Hey, buddy, how much work for adding this. If it takes some effort, our team can probably help for that. :)

It's either easy and just a tiny fix for the existing dash.rb or it requires a new dashboard model, in which case I'd prefer to scrap/covert dash.rb since I don't want 2 models doing the same.
First step would be looking into import result and see if it has all required fields, we can also pair on this, since some fresh eyes would be good anyway :)
