# Grafana Dashboard as Code Generator

Generates Grafana dashboards programmatically using Grafonnet (jsonnet), the Grafana HTTP API, and grafana-toolkit. Supports multi-datasource panels with Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo queries.

## Prerequisites

Grafonnet, Jsonnet, Grafana HTTP API, grafana-toolkit

## Installation

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Grafonnet uses the [Jsonnet](https://jsonnet.org/) programming language.
- **NOTE**: There is a significant performance issue with the C implementation of Jsonnet. You are strongly
- recommended to use the newer [go-jsonnet](https://github.com/google/go-jsonnet) Jsonnet implementation.
