I have exported the dashboard in json format.

I want to import the json file manually to create the same dashboard in new grafana instance.

While googling i got some related information but finding difficulties to implement successfully.

From the site Grafana API link i got the code snippet like,

POST /api/dashboards/db HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk

{ “dashboard”: { “id”: null, “uid”: null, “title”: “Production Overview”, “tags”: [ “templated” ], “timezone”: “browser”, “schemaVersion”: 16, “version”: 0 }, “folderId”: 0, “overwrite”: false }

The above code snippet looks like we can create new dashboard with existing json file but i have no idea of how to implement this code snippet successfully.

Somebody guide me how to achieve this?
