Search dashboards
POST/perses-public/api/v1/dashboards/search
Returns the dashboards whose name matches a search term, one page at a time.
filter.searchTerm is matched as a case-insensitive substring of each dashboard's doc.metadata.name. This is not a full-text search: display names, panel titles, queries and datasource references are not searched. An empty or omitted term matches every dashboard.
Results are sorted by name. total is the number of matches before pagination, so it can be larger than the number of results on the page.
filter.createdBy is accepted but not applied on this endpoint. To filter by creator, use Search dashboard folders.

results object[]
The dashboard's stable identifier. It survives updates and moves, and every endpoint addresses a dashboard by this value. This is the one to store.
Identifier of the version row holding the current revision. A new value is issued on every update, and it can't be used to address the dashboard. A dashboard that has never been updated has the same value here as in uid, which makes the two easy to confuse.
Internal marker for the dashboard, equal to uid for dashboards created through this API. The name shown in the app is doc.spec.display.name, and the name that search matches is doc.metadata.name.
The id of the folder holding the dashboard.
doc object
A Perses dashboard document. Only metadata.name is validated by Logz.io; spec is stored as sent and has to be a valid Perses dashboard spec for the dashboard to render in the app.
Possible values: [Dashboard]
metadata objectrequired
The dashboard's identity, and the only field both search endpoints match on. Required on create and update.
Set by the server from the folder in the request path. Any value sent here is replaced.
spec objectrequired
Extra properties are allowed. The Perses dashboard spec. See the Perses dashboard specification for the panel, layout and query plugin shapes.
display object
How the dashboard is labelled in the app.
Default time range, as a duration string.
Auto-refresh interval, as a duration string.
Panel definitions, keyed by panel name.
Grid layouts placing the panels.
Datasources scoped to this dashboard, keyed by name.
Revision number. Starts at 1 and increments on every update.
Numeric id of the principal that created the dashboard. For a dashboard created through this API this is the id of the API token, not of a user.
Numeric id of the principal that last updated the dashboard.
When this version was written. An update stamps a new value, so this is not the creation time of the original dashboard.
Whether the dashboard was made private in the Logz.io app. Privacy can't be changed through this API, and dashboards created through it are never private.
Null unless the dashboard was deleted.
Null unless the dashboard was deleted.
Number of matching dashboards before pagination.
pagination object
1-based page number. Defaults to 1.
Number of dashboards per page. Defaults to 20.
