Make Dashboards also MKP-able

93 votes

It would be really helpful, if MKPs can be shared like plugins via the Exchange. So they must be MKP-able as well

IMHO, we should make this also working for views and reports

I agree, this should also be possible for views (and even reports).
We requested that feature in March 2018 if I remember right. We have no more use for this now - we have moved to Grafana for dashboards.
This is just sad 😟

Maybe introduce something like "global customizations" that are not stored in an individual user account.

A special permissions could be added that allows a role to move / create a dashobard / view / report to the global customizations.

Global customizations coul dbe edited with a special permission and then also be packed into an MKP.

MKPs should include all components that are necessary for the entire process.
Seen from the bottom:
- Agent Components like Plugins, Local Checks, ...
- Rules, e.g. to set the checkinterval on the client (e.g. log4j scan should run every 24h, not on every Agent run)
- Views
- Dashboards
- ...

The MKPs should be stored in the Exchange, as with Grafana, incl. comment function, ...
e.g.

@KG indeed! :(
I think we also started talking about the idea/concept about 3-4 years ago and it looks like we are having another release without the option.
We believe this would also push the community to another level as there are great dashboards out there, from what I saw. and Grafana clearly shows it.

@Robert
I guess thats the reason why nothing happend so far as it is a bigger architectural change necessary.

@Thomas
Start with something like dashboards and make it a clear roadmap whats coming next after it to be able to export.
Honestly, I dont want to export my reports. First the reporting isnt really eyecatching at all, second, also lots of corporate details in it.
