How I Get a Full Screenshot of a Grafana Dashboard (Without the Headache)

 

Sometimes you need a full picture of a Grafana dashboard, not just whatever fits on your screen. It sounds simple, but Grafana doesn’t show all panels at once — some load only when you scroll to them. That’s how you end up with incomplete screenshots and missing sections.

I ran into the same problem. So I built a small script that handles all the “acrobatics” for you:

• it opens the dashboard,

• figures out the real height of the page,

• scrolls smoothly all the way down so every panel loads,

• and then captures a clean, complete screenshot.

You run it, give it the dashboard URL and an access token, and it takes care of the rest automatically.

Why did I build it?
Because I needed reliable screenshots for reports and automation. And because sometimes you really just want a picture, nothing more.

The code is in the repo, easy to read and tweak:
