Why not use Grafana's own solution?

[Anders Bennedsgaard]

Have you considered using Grafanas own solution to this problem? They use quay.io/kiwigrid/k8s-sidecar which enables you to create ConfigMaps with the dashboards in json format.

For example, adding the sidecar using their Helm chart at https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/grafana/values.yaml#L636, enables you to add dashboards by adding a grafana_dashboard=1 label to your ConfigMap. I believe it is possible to specify which folder to add the dashboard to, using the k8s-sidecar-target-directory=/tmp/dashboards/folder annotation, but I haven't tested this..

I haven't seen that project but it sure looks identical in scope as this. And also better maintained from the looks of it.

This project is not a priority for us at the moment but it might just be that we would decide to shut it down completely in favor of the other 😄
