Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

One of our customers is asking to provide them the ability to provide unique UIDs for the static dashboards and dynamic dashboards, so they do not conflict across multiple Gloo environments

Ideally it is a helm override, for instance dashboard prefix (for instance: dev). The dashboard prefix is then used as prefix to static and dynamic dashboards.

Have discussed with @edubonifs and decided that the prefix will apply to the title of the dashboard as well

[davidjumani]

Discussing with @edubonifs and decided that any existing dashboards without the prefix or with a different prefix will need to be manually removed as doing so automatically can cause issues. Eg: If an environment with the dev- prefix has now been modified to stage- and a new environment has been added with the dev- prefix, there is a possibility that the dashboards created by the latter environment will be deleted due to the change in the prefix of former environment.

This feature introduces a new observability option dashboardPrefix : Specifies a prefix for the UID and title of all Dashboards managed by edge. This is restricted to 20 characters to allow for the 40 character UID limit of grafana (prefix + generated uid per upstream)
