failed to load dashboard via provisioning

[double-yaya]

What happened:
I provisioned a grafana instance in k8s with prometheus. Datasources work, and stock dashboards work fine, I use additional dashboard provider/provisioner to a new Dashboard folder, json dashboard files are empty in grafana.

dashboardProviders:
  dashboardproviders.yaml:
    apiVersion: 1
    providers:
    - name: 'default'
      orgId: 1
      folder: ''
      type: file
      disableDeletion: false
      allowUiUpdates: true
      editable: true
      updateIntervalSeconds: 10
      options:
        path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards

[log]
mode = console
logs:

thanks for creating this issue @double-yaya

can you double check if the path: is correct? When I did provisioning mine was under /etc/ E.g: /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards

provisioning

[tonypowa]

thank you for sharing the details @double-yaya

I will forward this to our dashboard engineering team for review

[decipher27]

Grafana Version: v8.5.15

Why then it's pointing to /tmp ? Also, I don't see any json files under /var/lib/grafana, I did check under /etc/ too..
Am i doing anything wrong here?

I have exec into the Grafana container.

This seems to be related to Helm. The Helm charts is maintained by a team of maintainers separate from the core Grafana project and issues related to Helm are tracked over in github.com/grafana/helm-charts. It seems like this issue has been reported thrice, with some suggestions for workarounds provided across the issues:

• [grafana] Grafana failed to load dashboard from json error=EOF helm-charts#764
• dashboards.<name>.file creates empty ConfigMap helm-charts#27
• Dashboards end up as empty files on disk helm-charts#200
