Is there a way to set defaults for the dashboard variables during import? I have three datacenters (labeled A,B,C) and most of the time I want to look at clusters in datacenter B. After dashboard import every dashboard uses A as default chosen datacenter.

Are you using Harvest CLI to import dashboards?

This is a great idea! Currently the DataCenter selector/menu defaults to the first item ... Every time I open a new Dashboard my first thought is: Where has the other 10 TB gone!?! 😲 So for us, it would be great to be able to set the default to "all"

Yes, I believe we did not add 'Datacenter All' by default to avoid the potential load it could place on the database due to the increased amount of data requested from queries.
@olive knot Could you please open a separate feature request to add 'All' to the datacenter options? The request from Mamoep is different.
