title: How to import grafana dashboard json file manually
body: <p>I have exported the dashboard in json format.</p>
  
  <p>I want to import the json file manually to create the same dashboard in new grafana instance.</p>
  
  <p>While googling i got some related information but finding difficulties to implement successfully.</p>
  
  <p>From the site <a href="https://grafana.com/docs/http_api/dashboard/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Grafana API link</a> i got the code snippet like,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>POST /api/dashboards/db HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/json
    Content-Type: application/json
    Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk</p>
    
    <p>{
    “dashboard”: {
    “id”: null,
    “uid”: null,
    “title”: “Production Overview”,
    “tags”: [ “templated” ],
    “timezone”: “browser”,
    “schemaVersion”: 16,
    “version”: 0
    },
    “folderId”: 0,
    “overwrite”: false
    }</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The above code snippet looks like we can create new dashboard with existing json file but i have no idea of how to implement this code snippet successfully.</p>
  
  <p>Somebody guide me how to achieve this?</p>
