Dashboard Actions Menu :: Kloudfuse Docs
Dashboard Actions Menu
The Actions menu, located in the top-right corner of a dashboard, provides quick access to configuration options, variables, JSON export, and deletion tools.
Basic Settings
Update core properties of the dashboard:
- Title — Display name shown in the dashboard list and header.
- Description — Short text describing the dashboard’s purpose or content focus.
- Folder — Assign the dashboard to a folder for organization and RBAC control.
- Tags — Add searchable labels for easier discovery.
View Metadata
At the bottom of the settings dialog, you can view:
- Created At / Updated At — Date and time stamps.
- Created By / Updated By — User details, if available.
Save or Cancel Changes
- Click Save dashboard to confirm changes.
- Click Cancel to close without saving.
Dashboard JSON Diff View
Use the JSON Diff tab in the Save Dashboard dialog to view changes made to the dashboard configuration before saving.
Purpose

- Panel settings
- Variable definitions
- Visualization properties
- Layout metadata

+) - Collapsed blocks show how many lines are hidden — click Expand to view them
When to Use
Use the diff to:
- Validate edits before saving
- Avoid accidental overwrites
- Compare versions when troubleshooting panel behavior
Actions
- Review the diff output.
- Click Save dashboard to confirm and apply the changes.
- Or click Cancel to discard.
| The diff is generated automatically. No edits can be made directly in this view. |
Configure Dashboard Variables
Dashboard variables act as placeholders in panel queries. They allow dashboards to adapt based on user selections—such as cluster, namespace, environment, or service—without changing the underlying queries.
Export Dashboard JSON
Download the complete .json definition for:
- Backup purposes.
- Migration to another Kloudfuse instance.
- Manual editing outside the UI.
Copy Dashboard JSON
Copy the dashboard’s JSON to your clipboard for quick sharing in chat, version control, or support requests.
Delete Dashboard
Permanently remove the dashboard from Kloudfuse.
| Once deleted, dashboards cannot be recovered unless previously exported. |
