How can I use cron to reset all the dashboards on a regular basis? We have a lot of ppl using the tool and sometimes they click "save" when exiting a dashboard. Is there a better way other than cron?

You could send an API call on POST https://nabox/harvest2/1.0/dashboards

Another option is to enable guest access in Nabox grafana preferences. (In NAbox web ui, not in grafana). I believe this will prevent dashboards modifications unless people specifically log in, which you can control by controlling who you give the password to.

@strong violet See if setting dashboard permissions helps?

Thank you for the information. Ideally what I need is to allow my users to edit the dashboard but only do a save-as so to not overwrite the stock board. I found that providing viewer only access does not provide the save-as ability. I don't know if there is a way around this. If not I'll reset the stock boards on a regular basis.

@strong violet you might be able to achieve that with https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/provisioning/#dashboards allowUiUpdates: false and disableDeletion: false updateIntervalSeconds sound promising

I think this is valid only for auto provisioned dashboards based on directory content. In NAbox case, I use the grafana tool that comes with harvest to inject it, I don't think those attributes apply then
