To deploy a Datadog dashboard, you can use the Datadog Operator and DatadogDashboard custom resource definition (CRD).

Prerequisites

• Helm
• kubectl CLI
• Datadog Operator v0.6+

Setup

1. Create a file with the spec of your DatadogDashboard deployment configuration.

   Example:

   datadog-dashboard.yaml

   Copy

      apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v1alpha1
      kind: DatadogDashboard
      metadata:
        name: example-dashboard
      spec:
        title: Test Dashboard
        layoutType: ordered
        tags:
          - "team:my_team"
        templateVariables:
          - availableValues:
              - host1
              - host2
              - host3
            name: first
            prefix: bar-foo
        notifyList:
          - foobar@example.com
        widgets: '[{
