Is there a way you can export Dashboards in any format like JSON or XML?

Hello Amartya,
If you export the custom dashboards from "Dashboards & Reports", I see that the dashboard by default is being exported as .json file. I have attached a gif recording of the same.

Is there a way to export all the dashboards at once via command line ?
We would like to set up an automated way of exporting all custom dashboards at regular intervals.

Hi There
You can create a simple script to query all the dashboard ID's
https://<controller URL>/controller/restui/dashboards/getPermissionsForDashboards
Then just loop through the dashboard id's, example below GET Query
https://<controller URL>/controller/CustomDashboardImportExportServlet?dashboardId=1234
We used a Python script to do this task, for regular backups of teh dashboards into JSON backups format
Ciao

Thanks for the tip @Mario.Morelli .
I tried a simple curl test to the url https://<controller URL>/controller/restui/dashboards/getPermissionsForDashboards and I got an error.
curl --user xxxxxx@xxxxx:xxxx https://appdynamics_controller:8181/controller/restui/dashboards/getPermissionsForDashboards

Is this expected ? HTTP is blocked in our environment, so cant test that. Also, we are going through a LB.

Hi Vishwanath
My Apologies, I gave you the incorrect details, please find below method to query it:)
1) Get the JESSIONID and X-CSRF-TOKEN with user having permissions
curl -i --user <USERNAME>@<Account>:<PASSWORD> https://<Controller-URL>/controller/auth?action=login
2) Run the following CURL call with JESSIONID and X-CSRF-TOKEN from step 1?
curl -i -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN:<TOKEN FROM ABOVE>" -H "Cookie: JSESSIONID=<JSESSION ID FROM ABOVE>; X-CSRF-TOKEN=<TOKEN>;" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" https://<Controller URL>/controller/restui/dashboards/getAllDashboardsByType/false
Example below
curl -i -H "Cookie:JSESSIONID=9b81672143e228e4eb73fdea89a9;" -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN:6fece457az197155a8f68320cfa781eaeb88991b" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" https://<controller url>/controller/restui/dashboards/getAllDashboardsByType/false"
This will output all dashboards, with one of the attributes being the Dashboard ID, which you can then use in the last query
https://<controller url>/controller/CustomDashboardImportExportServlet?dashboardId=<dashboard ID>
Ciao
