Import a Real Dashboard

A real community dashboard JSON is sitting unimported. Provision it so it renders real live data.

A intermediate Prometheus & Grafana challenge worth 10 points. Solve it hands-on in a real Prometheus & Grafana environment in your browser - no local setup, no fake shells.

The Challenge

Scenario: Someone downloaded a well-known community dashboard JSON for node_exporter metrics and left it sitting on disk - it was never actually provisioned into Grafana, so nobody can see it.

Your tasks:

1. Locate the staged dashboard JSON file.
2. Copy it into Grafana's dashboards provisioning directory.
3. Write a matching dashboards-provider YAML pointing at that directory.
4. Restart Grafana and confirm the dashboard appears and renders real data from the live Prometheus datasource.

Commands to learn: Grafana dashboard provisioning (providers, type: file, options.path).

Run check when done.
