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.
