Create the target directory and connection

Create a small migration directory if you do not already have a DAC project. The importer writes the dashboard YAML to the output path you choose.

mkdir -p metabase-migration/dashboards metabase-migration/.artifacts
cd metabase-migration

DAC executes the imported widgets through a Bruin connection. Point it at the same reporting data that Metabase uses, not a stale copy with a different refresh schedule. This simplified .bruin.yml example names a Postgres connection analytics:

default_environment: default

environments:
  default:
    connections:
      postgres:
        - name: analytics
          host: analytics.internal.example
          port: 5432
          database: warehouse
          username: dashboard_reader
          password: ${ANALYTICS_DB_PASSWORD}
          ssl_mode: require

Keep credentials outside Git. Use your normal secret-management approach for ANALYTICS_DB_PASSWORD and give the dashboard account only the schemas it needs.
