@Pradheep Shan Currently modifying the Grafana dashboards is not supported in Ambari.

@Pradheep Shan

As Terry mentioned, you cannot modify the existing Grafana dashboards since they are managed by Ambari. On Grafana restart, your changes will go away.

However, you can do one of this.

1. Create a new dashboard

2. Clone and Edit an existing dashboard

Open a dashboard. Click on Setting Icon and use Save As.

This way your changes are preserved across restarts.
