[kube-prometheus-stack] group grafana dashboards in folders

[marcofranssen]

Is your feature request related to a problem ?

Give more structure to the dashboards in Grafana folders.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I would like to have a way to structure the grafana dashboards in folders.

From following chart I see 2 options:

• https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/grafana/grafana?modal=values&path=sidecar.dashboards.provider.foldersFromFilesStructure
• https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/grafana/grafana?modal=values&path=sidecar.dashboards.folderAnnotation

e.g. All the Kubernetes / dashboards could go in a Kubernetes folder. Or we make it somehow configurable via option 2 using those annotations.

Maybe it is already possible with the current chart, but I can't really figure it out at the moment on how to do that. In that case some documentation might be great to tell users of the chart how to do this.

Anyone with more deep knowledge in this chart who knows how to achieve that?

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Provisioning all the dashboards myself and disable the default shipped dashboards.

Additional context.

Lets wait for Grafana 11, then we may able to benefit from the sub-folder structor. What did you think about?

If that makes it easier. Would already be happy to group some stuff in one level of folders.

Grafana 11 release is less then four weeks, dated for mid may.

At the moment is there a way to disable the default shipped dashboards?

[jkroepke]

Set grafana.defaultDashboardsEnabled=false in values

And Grafana 11 released today. https://github.com/grafana/grafana/releases
