Use this command to generate sample Grafana dashboards for Redpanda metrics. These dashboards can be imported into a Grafana or Grafana Cloud instance. To select a specific dashboard, use the --dashboard flag followed by the dashboard name. For example, to generate the operations dashboard, run: rpk generate grafana-dashboard --dashboard operations The selected dashboard will be downloaded from Redpanda Data’s observability GitHub repository.
