-# Grafana Dashboard Synchronization Backend Plugin
+# Grafana Dashboard Synchronizer
 
-A Grafana backend plugin for automatic synchronization of dashboard between multiple Grafana instances.
+A small CLI tool to do a tag-base automatic synchornization and backup Grafana of dashboards across multiple Grafana instances.
+
+This application can be used to synchronize dashboards, using a Git repository, across multiple Grafana instances.  
+A possible use case is: push Grafana dashboards from one Grafana instance to a Git repository and import them into another Grafana instance. In addition, users can use tags to determine for themselves when a dashboard should be synchronized.
 
-This plugin can be used to synchronize dashboards via a Git repository.  
-A possible use case is: One Grafana instance is using the plugin to push dashboards to a Git repository,
-another Grafana instance is using it to pull the dashboards.  
 As an example this is useful to stage dashboards from "dev" to "prod" environments.
 
-## Getting started
+## Usage
 
-A data source backend plugin consists of both frontend and backend components.
+The application can be used as follows:
 
-### Frontend
+    $ ./grafana-dashboard-synchronizer [options]
 
-1. Install dependencies
+By default, the application will use a configuration file named `configuration.yml` next to the binary. A custom configuration file can be used using the `--config` or `-c` option flag:
 
-   ```bash
-   yarn install
-   ```
+    $ ./grafana-dashboard-synchronizer --config /custom/configuration.yml
 
-2. Build plugin in development mode or run in watch mode
+In addition, a dry-run flag can be used. When the `--dry-run` flag is used, the application does not perform any modifications. This can be useful when testing what changes would be made.
 
-   ```bash
-   yarn dev
-   ```
+    $ ./grafana-dashboard-synchronizer --dry-run
 
-   or
+By default, the application logs in an easy-to-read text format. With the `--log-as-json` flag, the application generates logs in JSON format, which is convenient if the logs are processed by other tools such as Logstash:
 
-   ```bash
-   yarn watch
-   ```
+    $ ./grafana-dashboard-synchronizer
+      INFO[0000] Synchronizing Grafana dashboards...
+      ...
 
-3. Build plugin in production mode
+compared to:
 
-   ```bash
-   yarn build
-   ```
+    $ ./grafana-dashboard-synchronizer --log-as-json
+      {"level":"info","msg":"Synchronizing Grafana dashboards...","time":"2022-02-08T16:41:26+01:00"}
+      ...
+
+### Configuration
+
+The configuration file can contain multiple jobs, which will be sequentially executed. Furthermore, the push (export) step of a job is executed before its pull (import) step.
+
+See the following configuration for available configuration options:
 
-### Backend
+    - job-name:      "example-job"
+      # API token to interact with the specified Grafana instance

+The release process of the application is automated using Github Actions.
 On each push to the `main` branch, a new prerelease is created and the corresponding commit is tagged "latest".
 Old prereleases will be deleted.
 
 To create a normal release, the commit that is used as the basis for the release must be tagged with the following format: `v*.*.*`.
 After that, the release is built and created with the version number extracted from the tag.
 Furthermore, a new commit is created, which sets the current version in the `main` branch to the version that has been released.
