Import Grafana Dashboard JSON

[mnbro]

Do you have a target date for implementing the import of Grafana Dashboard JSON, or is it something that won't be implemented at all?

there is not planned to be picked up anytime soon. There seems to be a lot of work due to prometheus to otel semantics changes + query translation. The existing promql fetches the raw data from clickhouse to the query-service and runs the calculation like prometheus does in-memory of the query-service. This is not ideal when working with clickhouse. We will have to translate promql to CH sql query first and then look into compatibilities of prometheus and otel semantics.

Both of these are time taking and we are not focussing on that now. If anyone from the community comes with a translation of promql to CH-sql query, we would be happy to help.

This seems absolutely crucial to adoption of signoz. To be frank your product team should be putting general compatibility with existing grafana and prometheus tooling at the forefront if you want to win users and business. Imagine that users could leverage the gigantic amount of grafana dashboards which exist in signoz.
