Summary

Chronograf is a powerful tool for creating graphs and dashboards that can be easily shared with others. The Chronograf REST API allows users to download their dashboard and share it with colleagues, who can then upload it to their own instance of Chronograf. To get started, users need to find the ID of their dashboard by listing all available dashboards and identifying the desired one. Once the ID is obtained, the JSON file for that dashboard can be downloaded and shared via URL or command line. The recipient can then upload the dashboard to their own Chronograf instance using a similar command line process. This allows users to share their custom dashboards with others while maintaining control over the data and configuration.
