How to Merge Screenboards

Steps to merge screenboards

1. Retrieve the ID of each of screenboard (the ID is located in the URL of the screenboard).

2. Use merge_screenboards.py, which relies on the Datadog API get and push for screenboards.

3. Update merge_screenboards.py with your Datadog API and APP keys.

4. Run the following (orientation is a number, use 0 to merge screenboards vertically or 1 for horizontally):

   python merge_screenboard.py [screenboard1,screenboard2...,screenboardN] 
   orientation
   

5. The output of the script is the URL of your merged screenboard.

Items of note

• By default, template variables are added uniquely to the new dashboard. To add new template variables, list them in dict_tem_var (examples are in the code comments).

• The default screenboard title is Merged Screenboard, but you can change it in the title variable.

• Integration screenboards must be cloned before merging. The default screenboards don't have IDs.
