For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see Working in Grafana version 8.

You can search for dashboards by dashboard name and by panel title. When you search for dashboards, the system returns all dashboards available within the Grafana instance, even if you do not have permission to view the contents of the dashboard.

Search dashboards using dashboard name

Enter any part of the dashboard name in the search bar. The search returns results for any partial string match in real-time, as you type.

Dashboard search is:

  • Real-time

  • Not case sensitive

  • Functional across stored and file based dashboards.

Tip

You can use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the results and press Enter to open the selected dashboard.

Search dashboards using panel title

You can search for a dashboard by the title of a panel that appears in a dashboard. If a panel’s title matches your search query, the dashboard appears in the search results.

Filter dashboard search results by tags

Tags are a great way to organize your dashboards, especially as the number of dashboards grow. You can add and manage tags in dashboard Settings.

When you select multiple tags, Grafana shows dashboards that include all selected tags.

To filter dashboard search result by a tag, complete one of the following steps:

  • To filter dashboard search results by tag, choose a tag that appears in the right column of the search results.

    You can continue filtering by choosing additional tags.

  • To see a list of all available tags, click the Filter by tags dropdown menu and select a tag.

    All tags will be shown, and when you select a tag, the dashboard search will be instantly filtered.

Tip

When using only a keyboard, press the tab key and navigate to the Filter by tag dropdown menu, press the down arrow key to activate the menu and locate a tag, and press Enter to select the tag.

Command palette

You can use the command palette to do the following:

  • Search for and open dashboards and folders.

  • Create dashboards and alert rules.

  • Locate pages within Grafana.

  • Change the theme to dark or light.

Top open the command palette, enter ctrl+k (cmd+k in MacOS). You can also select the search input in the Grafana navigation bar.

Note

To go to the previous step, press backspace with the command palette empty.
