Improve Diff Output For New Dashboards

[keithherron]

Currently when running grr diff with a new dashboard that hasn't been applied to Grafana yet, I'm seeing:

Dashboard/dashboard_name not present in Dashboard

I wasn't entirely sure at first what this meant or if it was good or bad, but AIUI it means the dashboard doesn't exist yet in Grafana, so no diff is being shown.

I think this could be easier to understand if the diff for a new dashboard output something to the effect of:

Dashboard/dashboard_name changes detected (create dashboard)

Ideally with the option to print a full diff containing the new dashboard json that would be applied.

The main issue I have with the message you mention above is that "Dashboard" isn't a place where a dashboard exists - Grafana is the place where a dashboard exists. I need to add the concept of "system" so the message becomes:

Dashboard/dashboard_uid not present in Grafana

Would that do it?

Actually, please try the latest release of Grizzly. This has changed a lot. I'd like to think it is much cleaner now.

Closing. Please reopen if still an issue.
