gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create (--config=CONFIG | --config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE) [--validate-only] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) Create a new Monitoring dashboard. A dashboard can be specified as a JSON/YAML value passed in as a string through the --config flag or as a file through the --config-from-file flag. Validate a dashboard config without saving by setting the --validate-only flag.
For information about the format of a dashboard: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v1/projects.dashboards
To create a dashboard with a YAML config, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create --config=''' displayName: New Dashboard gridLayout: widgets: - text: content: Hello World '''
To validate a dashboard and not save it, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create --validate-only \ --config=''' displayName: New Dashboard gridLayout: widgets: - text: content: Hello World '''
To create a dashboard with a JSON config, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create --config=''' { "displayName": "New Dashboard", "gridLayout": { "widgets": [ { "text": { "content": "Hello World", } } ] }, } '''
To create a dashboard with a specific dashboard ID, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create --config=''' name: projects/MY-PROJECT/dashboards/MY-DASHBOARD displayName: New Dashboard gridLayout: widgets: - text: content: Hello World '''
To create a dashboard within a specific project, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create --project=MY-PROJECT \ --config=''' displayName: New Dashboard gridLayout: widgets: - text: content: Hello World '''
To create a dashboard with a file, run:
$ gcloud alpha monitoring dashboards create \ --config-from-file=MY-FILE
Sample contents of MY-FILE:
displayName: New Dashboard gridLayout: widgets: - text: content: Hello World
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- --config=CONFIG
Dashboard configuration, in either JSON or YAML format, as a string.
- --config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE
Path to a JSON or YAML file containing the dashboard configuration.
- --validate-only
When set, validate the dashboard but do not save it.
