Group dashboards in folders

[costimuraru]

There is currently no way of grouping dashboards, other than tag them with a common label. Things get messy quickly, when multiple teams create new dashboards or there are many apps that need to be monitored.
I've long been wishing for a way of grouping related dashboards. GDash used to offer something like this and it was very helpful in organizing dashboards.

Grouping dashboards into folders may look something like this:

What do you think?

Good feedback and mockup! I think this makes a lot of sense, Dashboard folders will also be good abstraction to place permissions on when permission on dashboard / dashboard folders will be needed.

In my company we were currently trying to use the Organizations feature to separate out different group's dashboards, but this causes problems for some managers who oversee different but related groups when they try to view the dashboards side by side in separate browser windows.

I realize we're using organizations incorrectly, so I am excited for this feature (Dashboard groups/folders with permissions) to be implemented.

Could the alerts defined in these dashboards also be categorized in folders in the related views ? (if not already the case)

[coolshiva123]

We have a similar requirement too to view the graphs based on particular user logged in

Yes please.

@iksaif that a good question. I think not for v1 of dashboard folders but definitely later on.

What is the status of this?

[daniellee]

@f1erro it is being worked on in the develop branch and will be included in Grafana 5.0 alpha release in the next few days. The alpha version will not include folder permissions but that feature will be included in the first beta release.
