Technical notes
This section describes technical changes associated with this release of Grafana.
Dashboard references
In 8.3, Grafana dashboards now reference data sources using an object with uid and type properties instead of the data source name property. A schema migration is applied when existing dashboards open. If you provision dashboards to multiple Grafana instances, then we recommend that you also provision data sources. You can specify the uid to be the same for data sources across your instances.
If you need to find the uid for a data source created in the UI, check the URL of the data source settings page. The URL follows the pattern /data source/edit/${uid}, meaning the last part is the uid.
