+Grafana Resources Backup
+========================
+
+Collection of scripts and main storage for all the JSON resources from
+our Grafana instance.
+
+Scripts are run on a schedule and any updates to the Grafana resourcesa
+are saved locally and commited automatically.
+
+Run Manully
+-----------
+
+Call the `./grafana-save.sh` script, this will call all other scripts
+and update/add the Grafana resource JSON files. Remember you need to
+set the `API_TOKEN=...` environment variable beforehand!
+
+You can of course call the individual scripts directly.
+
+API Token
+---------
+
+Since Grafana V11/V12 there is only way to get a API token and that is to
+create a "Service Account". Within the service account there is an option
+to generate token(s), this helps to better bind tokens to accounts which
+themselves have specific roles (and in the backend RBAC defined permissions
+and scopes).
