This simply takes any json files present and loads them into Grafana directly. The idea is that you can edit the dashboards using the inbuilt editor, then copy the dashboard JSON and keep it externally version controlled. No parsing or validation is done on the JSON files; we are assuming they have not been hand-modified from what Grafana generates. Change-Id: I38695aed2404f8b7fc350d949b7a9212498c35cb

Overview
grafyaml takes descriptions of Grafana dashboards in YAML format, and
uses them to produce JSON formatted output suitable for direct import
into Grafana.
The tool uses the Voluptuous data validation library to ensure the input produces a valid dashboard. Along with validation, users receive the benefits of YAML markup such as comments and clearer type support.
For example, here is a minimal dashboard specification
dashboard:
time:
from: "2018-02-07T08:42:27.000Z"
to: "2018-02-07T13:48:32.000Z"
templating:
- name: hostname
type: query
datasource: graphite
query: node*
refresh: true
title: My great dashboard
rows:
- title: CPU Usage
height: 250px
panels:
- title: CPU Usage for $hostname
type: graph
datasource: graphite
targets:
- target: $hostname.Cpu.cpu_prct_usedgrafyaml can be very useful in continuous-integration
environments. Users can specify their dashboards via a normal review
process and tests can validate their correctness.
The tool can also take JSON manually exported from the Grafana interface and load it as a dashboard. This allows keeping dashboards that have been edited with the inbuilt editor externally version controlled.
A large number of examples are available in the OpenStack project-config repository, which are used to create dashboards on http://grafana.openstack.org.
