saving of customized dashboards in Grafana fails

[Martin Roderus]

How to reproduce:
  1. Open the dashboard from "Dashboard" button in the Horizon "Monitoring" > "Overview".
  2. Customize the dashboard. (e.g. add row, add graph or change title)
  3. Click the save button.
  4. Close and re-open the dashboard.

Expected behavior:
  Customized dashboard is displayed.
  Each user can manage his customized dashboards.

Observed behavior:
  Customizations are lost, default-dashboard is displayed.

this is an enhancement request, would require elastic search

Grafana is part of the current master-branch of Monasca. On the dashboard, the described "Save"-function is displayed, however does not show any effect when used.
If this is an enhancement request, does it makes sense to disable this function on the dashboard until the enhancement is implemented? Currently, I find it a bit confusing.

Is it really necessary to store dashboards in Elasticsearch? To my knowledge, Grafana interacts mainly with InfluxDB (via the Monasca API). My initial intuition would have been to store dashboards in MySQL.
