Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
client_cert path		PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required
client_key path		PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.
commit_message string		Set a commit message for the version history. Only used when state is present. message alias is deprecated in Ansible 2.10, since it is used internally by Ansible Core Engine. aliases: message
dashboard_id string added in 1.0.0 of community.grafana		Public Grafana.com dashboard id to import
dashboard_revision string added in 1.0.0 of community.grafana	Default: 1	Revision of the public grafana dashboard to import
folder string added in 1.0.0 of community.grafana	Default: "General"	The Grafana folder where this dashboard will be imported to.
grafana_api_key string		The Grafana API key. If set, url_username and url_password will be ignored.
org_id integer	Default: 1	The Grafana Organisation ID where the dashboard will be imported / exported. Not used when grafana_api_key is set, because the grafana_api_key only belongs to one organisation..
overwrite boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Override existing dashboard when state is present.
path string		The path to the json file containing the Grafana dashboard to import or export. A http URL is also accepted (since 2.10). Required if state is export or present. aliases: dashboard_url
slug string		Deprecated since Grafana 5. Use grafana dashboard uid instead. slug of the dashboard. It's the friendly url name of the dashboard. When state is present, this parameter can override the slug in the meta section of the json file. If you want to import a json dashboard exported directly from the interface (not from the api), you have to specify the slug parameter because there is no meta section in the exported json.
state string	Choices: absent export present ←	State of the dashboard.
uid string added in 1.0.0 of community.grafana		uid of the dashboard to export when state is export or absent.
url string / required		The Grafana URL. aliases: grafana_url
url_password string	Default: "admin"	The Grafana password for API authentication. aliases: grafana_password
url_username string	Default: "admin"	The Grafana user for API authentication. aliases: grafana_user
use_proxy boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
