5.4 - Dashboards - how do I export / import them

[Dave]

In 5.4 screens have been done away with in favor of Dashboards.

The Dashboards are greats, however I can't seem to figure out how to export them like I could export Screens.

What we did in the past if we were add new servers, we could export a screen, change the host to the name of the new server and then import and it would create a whole new screen with all the graphs for that host.
This was a very quick and simply way for us to duplicate screens for new hosts.

How do I achieve the same with Dashboards now? If these dashboards cannot be exported and imported, then I think the removal of screens is one step backward as it has taken away functionality.

Anyone know how to export / import dashboards like we did with screens?



EDIT:
I see now that I can clone a dashboard, is there any macro for the "dashboard name" that I could use in the data set host pattern of the graphs, that if I name the dashboard as the monitored servers hostname, it would dynamically use that in the data set host pattern of the graphs?

I have exactly the same question. How could I manage the dashboard in configuration file/.xml just like the import/export the screens?
Is there any way to do it? To make a clone of an existing Dashboard is possible but modifying the new Dashboard will be a pure manual work.
I faced this in Zabbix Appliance because I couldn't find the screens I use in normal Zabbix server instance.
All good ideas are welcome.
Thank you!

I found I can make an export like this:
# mysqldump -p zabbix dashboard dashboard_page dashboard_user dashboard_usrgrp widget widget_field --single-transaction --no-create-info --insert-ignore > dashboards.sql
And to import again:
# mysql -p zabbix < dashboards.sql
Don't use this 'blind'. Check carefully if it does want you want.
