Its a follow up to [[PMM-7721] What is the different between dashboards in main git vs the one in PPM2 branch? - Percona JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-7721) that I opened.

I understand that its recommanded to use the [GitHub - percona/grafana-dashboards: PMM dashboards for database monitoring](https://github.com/percona/grafana-dashboards/tree/PMM-2.0) to get the grafana updated dashboards (and not the master because its quite stale).

If that is true then is there any instructions how to import these dashboard on a dedicated prometheus instance without getting a lot of error around missing plugins or no Prometheus `Metrics` datasource is missing?

Hi Shay,

You may create a copy of your Prometheus data source with name “Metrics”. So dashboard variables will not generate errors refer missed data source.

Plugin digiapulssi-breadcrumb-panel is a community panel. So you may added it into your Grafana instance.
