resource get

Purpose

Fetch one supported live Grafana resource by selector.

When to use

Use this when you need the live payload for one supported resource item and want a simpler generic query than building a full export or inspect workflow.

Key flags

• positional SELECTOR: required <kind>/<identity> selector, for example dashboards/cpu-main or datasources/prom-main
• --profile, --url, --token, --basic-user, --basic-password: live Grafana connection settings
• --output-format: choose text, table, json, or yaml

Notes

• The selector kind must currently be one of dashboards, folders, datasources, alert-rules, or orgs.
• text and table outputs summarize the fetched object. Use json or yaml when you need the full payload.

Examples

# Purpose: Fetch one live dashboard by UID.
grafana-util resource get dashboards/cpu-main --url http://localhost:3000 --basic-user admin --basic-password admin

# Purpose: Fetch one datasource payload as YAML.
grafana-util resource get datasources/prom-main --profile prod --output-format yaml

# Purpose: Fetch one org payload by numeric ID.
grafana-util resource get orgs/1 --profile prod --output-format json
