When importing dashboards, it's important to know their destination beforehand. Use the default option, and the dashboards will be stored in the 'Dashboards' folder. When importing dashboards, pay attention to their ID. Grafana distinguishes dashboards not by their names but by their IDs. If a dashboard with the same ID already exists in Grafana, it will be overwritten. If dashboards are linked to each other, use these IDs accordingly. Therefore, it's essential to consider what you aim to achieve, whether to overwrite or create a new version.
