Hello All,

We have a shared dashboard in all environments and we have lost all contents in dev and PR. The dashboard is still present and only the content is lost and we get a empty screen without any tiles or blocks, just empty page.
We did not do any deployments or any other changes and this issue is happening 2 nd time with the team. we already have tickets raised with Microsoft.
can anyone help or know these kind off issues?
please find the attached.

Thanks,

    Hi @Dilan BC ,

    To try recovering it, use the change tracking feature in Activity Log and see if it helps.

    Steps to be followed:

    1. Navigate to Activity Log tile of the dashboard's Resource Group and try to find the event that record change to the dashboard.
    2. If you found that event then click on the event to launch the pane and then click on Change History tab in the pane.
    3. Then click on the change corresponding to the dashboard update.
    4. In the changed properties page, the json of the dashboard before the change can be found.
    5. Use that json to either create a new dashboard or update the existing dashboard by making a PUT call on the dashboard via ARM call.

    Refer this article to understand steps to create a template from a json. Also, check this article to understand steps to update or create a dashboard using Az CLI.
