Dashboard Import

If you're migrating from Datadog, you can import your existing dashboards into Moneat. The importer translates Datadog's dashboard JSON format into Moneat's native format, including widget types, metric queries, and template variables.

Importing a dashboard

1. 1
   Export from Datadog

   In your Datadog dashboard, click the gear icon → Export Dashboard JSON. Copy the JSON content.
2. 2
   Open the import dialog

   In Moneat, go to Dashboards and click Import. Paste the Datadog JSON into the editor.
3. 3
   Review and save

   Moneat translates widgets, metrics, and template variables automatically. Review any warnings, then save the imported dashboard.

Supported widget types

The importer maps Datadog widget types to their Moneat equivalents:

Metric translation

Datadog metric namespaces are automatically mapped to Moneat's metric system:

• System metrics - system.cpu.*, system.mem.*, system.disk.*, system.net.*
• Trace metrics - trace.* APM metrics
• Log metrics - logs.* log-based metrics
• Container metrics - container.*, docker.* metrics
• Network metrics - network.* flow metrics

Template variables

Datadog template variables (like $env, $service, $host) are preserved during import and mapped to Moneat's variable system. You can edit them after import in the dashboard settings.
