Example code for creating new dashboard with row

[ykyuen]

Hi all,

i follow the example code and try creating a new dashboard.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/grafana-tools/sdk"
)

func main() {
	const GRAFANA_URL = "http://localhost:3000"
	const GRAFANA_API_KEY = "<GRAFANA_API_KEY>"

	// Initialize the grafana client
	grafanaClient, err := sdk.NewClient(GRAFANA_URL, GRAFANA_API_KEY, sdk.DefaultHTTPClient)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to create a client: %s\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Create dashboard
	board := sdk.NewBoard("Sample dashboard title")
	board.ID = 1
	board.Time.From = "now-30m"
	board.Time.To = "now"
	row1 := board.AddRow("Sample row title")
	row1.Add(sdk.NewGraph("Sample graph"))
	graph := sdk.NewGraph("Sample graph 2")
	target := sdk.Target{
		RefID:      "A",
		Datasource: "Sample Source 1",
		Expr:       "sample request 1"}
	graph.AddTarget(&target)
	row1.Add(graph)
	response, err := grafanaClient.SetDashboard(context.TODO() ,*board, sdk.SetDashboardParams{
		Overwrite: false,
	})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("error on uploading dashboard %s", board.Title)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("dashboard URL: %v", GRAFANA_URL + *response.URL)
	}
}

The dashboard is successfully created but there is no row with name "Sample row title".

What i suppose to have...

What did i miss?

Thanks for developing this project.

Regards,
Kit
