Find Dashboard names from IDs

[Wood_ Jeremy]

Hello,

I have a list of dashboard IDs that use an outdated plugin that i need to remove from our environment. I would like to go through each dashboard and replace the old gadget with a new one. The problem is that most of the dashboards are set to private and all i have is the ID number. If i could get the name of the dashboard i can use the admin portal to make myself an owner of the page and edit it that way but i cant find a way to lookup the names. 

Is there a way for me to get a list of the dashboards with the ID number? Or for me to look up the dashboard name using only the ID?

Hello @Wood_ Jeremy 

You can go directly to the Change Owner screen with the dashboard ID with a URL like this:

https://<yourJiraUrl>/secure/admin/dashboards/ChangeSharedDashboardOwner!default.jspa?dashboardId=10007

This worked great. Thank you!

Hi @Wood_ Jeremy,

You can also try using the Jira REST API end-point:

/rest/api/3/dashboard/{id}

Example: https://<yourJiraUrl>/rest/api/3/dashboard/10007

See https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-dashboards/#api-rest-api-3-dashboard-id-get

Will that retrieve a private dashboard's information for a Jira admin? It isn't clear from the documentation, and I'm not where I could test it at the moment.

Hm. You might be right @Trudy Claspill.

I was expecting that a Jira admin can see any dashboard. But the documentation says "to get a dashboard, the dashboard must be shared with the user or the user must own it. Note, users with the Administer Jira global permission are considered owners of the System dashboard. The System dashboard is considered to be shared with all other users." 

I haven't tested it, but it seems like it won't work if the user doesn't own the board.

Unfortunately the REST API wont pull any details for the private dashboards that have not been shared with you.
