Gloo Edge Enterprise’s observability component generates a dashboard per watched upstream. These dashboards are updated and recreated every time an upstream changes. It renders a Go template that can be found in a configmap, which gets loaded into the observability pod’s env at startup:

~ > kubectl -n gloo-system get cm glooe-observability-config -o yaml | head -n 10
apiVersion: v1
data:
  DASHBOARD_JSON_TEMPLATE: |

          {
            "builtIn": 1,
            "datasource": "-- Grafana --",
