Creates a dashboard if it does not already exist, or updates an existing dashboard. If you update a dashboard, the entire contents are replaced with what you specify here.
All dashboards in your account are global, not region-specific.
A simple way to create a dashboard using
put_dashboard is to copy an existing
dashboard. To copy an existing dashboard using the console, you can load
the dashboard and then use the View/edit source command in the Actions
menu to display the JSON block for that dashboard. Another way to copy a
dashboard is to use get_dashboard, and
then use the data returned within DashboardBody as the template for
the new dashboard when you call
put_dashboard.
When you create a dashboard with
put_dashboard, a good practice is to add a
text widget at the top of the dashboard with a message that the
dashboard was created by script and should not be changed in the
console. This message could also point console users to the location of
the DashboardBody script or the CloudFormation template used to create
the dashboard.
