NAME

grafana-util-dashboard-edit-live - Fetch one live dashboard into an external editor, then preview, save, or apply the edited result.

SYNOPSIS

grafana-util dashboard edit live [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Fetch one live dashboard into an external editor, then preview, save, or apply the edited result.

Use this when Grafana already has the closest source dashboard and you want to edit that payload directly, while keeping a clear choice between preview-only, saved draft, and direct live apply flows.

COMMON OPTIONS

--dashboard-uid: live Grafana dashboard UID to edit.
--output: local draft path to write after editing. When omitted, edit-live stays ephemeral and does not create a local draft file.
--apply-live: write the edited payload back to Grafana instead of writing a local draft.
--publish-dry-run: when --output is set, save the local draft and immediately run the equivalent dashboard publish --dry-run preview.
--yes: required with --apply-live because it mutates live Grafana.
--message: revision message used when --apply-live writes back to Grafana.
--profile, --url, --token, --basic-user, --basic-password: live Grafana connection settings.
