Migrating Custom Views of Grafana

In Grafana v1.3.1 and later versions, open-source Grafana versions v10 and v7 are available. However, if you upgrade the open-source Grafana version from v7.x to v10.x, custom views may be incompatible. In this case, you need to uninstall Grafana and reinstall it using open-source version v10. If there are custom views, perform the following operations to migrate them.

  4. Repeat the preceding steps to export all custom views.

Step 2: Uninstall and Reinstall Grafana

  1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console. In the navigation pane, choose Add-ons. Then, locate Grafana on the right and click Uninstall.
  2. Reinstall the add-on. Select v10 for Open-Source Community Version. For more parameters, see Grafana.

  3. Click Install.

Step 3: Import Custom Views

  1. Log in to Grafana of the new version and go to the Dashboards page.

  2. Click Import on the right.

  3. Upload a custom view exported in Step 1: Export Custom Views from Grafana of a Version Earlier Than 1.3.1.
