Hi Jake, AFAIC there were a couple of reasons why we changed that: - Now, with Cephadm, you can easily deploy a highly-available monitoring stack (needs a bit of polishing yet though). If, for example, you extend the Prometheus instance count to 2 or 3, Cephadm will automatically configure extra data sources accordingly (named Dashboard2, Dashboard3, etc.). - The other one is that using "default" basically broke migrations from pre-Cephadm, and in environments where the "default" datasource was other than Prometheus. I remember that a Grafana issue prevented users from renaming the default data source under some circumstances (I think, when created via the provisioning API). That said, in the Ceph Dashboard the embedded Grafana URL is hardcoded to "Dashboard1", so we could add a setting to customize that if required.
