title: Want to create StackDriver dashboard from template
body: <p>Is it possible to create StackDriver dashboards programmatically from a declarative template (similar to how Google Cloud Deployment allows you to create and manage cloud resources)?</p>
  
  <p>We use a different GCP project for each of our environments (master, staging, prod) and want to have StackDriver dashboards with the same metrics in each project.</p>
  
  <p>I checked the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3/" rel="noreferrer">StackDriver Monitoring API docs</a> as well as the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/configuration/create-configuration-file#supported_resource_types_and_properties" rel="noreferrer">Cloud Deployment supported resources</a> and did not find any evidence of support for this use case.</p>
