Summary
This is a comprehensive reference for building Grafana dashboards programmatically through JSON manipulation. It covers the full dashboard schema, panel types with specific use cases (time series for metrics over time, stat for single values, heatmap for distributions), template variables for multi-environment reuse, and client-side transformations like calculateField and filterByValue. The annotations section is especially useful if you're overlaying deployment events or incidents on your graphs. It includes practical details like the 24-column grid system, unit identifiers for proper formatting, and built-in variables for dynamic linking. You'll want this when you're scripting dashboard creation via API or need to understand what Grafana Assistant is generating under the hood.
