Please see picture,
I didn't add Grafana, Grafana metrics, Graphite Carbon metrics... I don't know where these dashboards are defined but I need to remove them
You can go to the Manage Dashboards page, select the ones you don't want and delete them.

I want to add a new annotation query to every dashboard. Is there a way to do this without just manually doing it 1 by 1 for each individual dashboard?
The example we want to add is to include the GitHub Releases for our GitHub repo to each graph so we can see the effect of releases on metrics. We're using the GitHub plugin for this.
Is there a way to do this en-masse?
The team at Grafana said there currently is not a way to do this automatically or via the UI.
Their recommendation would be to write a script which uses the Grafana API to add the annotations:
https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/annotations/
I've not attempted this, but it might be beneficial to others.
We did it manually instead.
Someone told me i should have a look at grafana.net? What is this? Is this something different than grafana?
I already checked google and asked other guys, no one has a clue what "grafana.net" could be (different than grafana) ...
That's a "reference" for Grafana portal (old domain was grafana.net, current one is grafana.com), where Grafana Labs (vendor of Grafana) has space for their users/customers. For example users can publish their dashboards, developers their plugins, etc.
I have a test Grafana setup pointing to my AWS CloudWatch service and CloudWatch logs. I can setup a graph pointing to a specific log group or groups, but what I want is to be able to dynamically set the logs groups, e.g., aws/containerinsights/$cluster/application. But I can't see how to do that or whether its even possible. The log group selection appears to be only from a dropdown and can't be edited. Is this possible? If it's not, I don't see how you can create a dashboard that can be used across clusters.
Usually, what looks like a dropdown (for example also dashboard variable) in the Grafana also takes user input - you can write/paste own text there. So write desired string with dashboard variable manually and then use offered Create: ... option:
I would like to get a table in my grafana dashboard that lists all annotations shown on the dashboard (gathered via dashboard configuration and (if possible) also the ones contained in panels.
Any idea? I cannot find a detailed documentation on that...
I cannot seem to figure out how to get certain metrics from GCP into Stackdriver (google monitoring) in a usable way. They can be viewed using Stackdriver's "Metrics Explorer" tool, but not saved into a graph or alerting policy. As a specific example, only a handful of the metrics outlined in this table are available:
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp#gcp-container
Again, I can use the "Metrics Explorer" tool to immediately visualize any one of them in an ad-hoc graph, but I cannot create an alerting policy or any sort of persistent monitoring for anything except for CPU Usage, Disk Usage, Page Faults, and Used Memory. Does anyone know how to get one of these metrics (such as container/cpu/usage_time) into an alerting policy?
Metrics Explorer includes access to more metrics than are currently available for alerting. We're working on addressing this both for UIs and APIs. Please stay tuned to release notes.
Thanks for using Stackdriver!
You can create a dashboard and add those metrics that you want to view. To do so please follow the instructions below. Further information on dashboards and on creating charts and alerts can be found in this documentation link.
At the Google Cloud Platform click on Products & Services which is the icon with the four bars at the top left hand corner.
On the menu go to the Stackdriver section and click on Monitoring.
A new ‘Stackdriver Monitoring’ window for your project will open up.
At the left-side navigation list click on Dashboards and select Create Dashboard. During this step you also have the option to add a chart to an existing dashboard by clicking on its name.
Give a name to the dashboard you’re creating.
At the right-hand side you can see different options to customize. Click on ‘Add Chart’ and fill in the requested information:
Give a name to the chart you’re creating.
Resource Type: Choose your resource type, e.g ‘GCE VM Instance’.
Metric: Choose the metrics that you want to add, e.g ‘compute.googleapis.com/instance/uptime ‘. Metric information for each product can be found in this documentation link.
Fill in all other information as needed: Filter, ‘Group By’, etc.
You can add more metrics by clicking the ‘Add Metric’ button.
Once you have finished click on the ‘Save’ button to save and create this new chart.
At the left-hand menu list click Dashboard and select the dashboard you have created to view it.
