I can't see no data for that specific dashboard. What's best way to 
overcome this. Is it something quickly editable and fixable ? or is it 
better to start creating dashboard from beginning. If someone. can 
help me here, I would appreciate that.


If you use dashboards from the Grafana site that aren't designed for 
Prometheus their usefulness is limited. Other datasources (such as 
Cloudwatch or Datadog) use totally different query languages, so what 
you are really gaining is an outline of a design rather than anything 
you can directly use. You would need to rewrite all the queries to 
operate in a similar manner using PromQL.


Whenever I'm having a look for Grafana dashboards I use the datasource 
filter such that only those designed specifically for Prometheus are 
listed - at least then they mostly work out of the box (although often 
still need slight tweaks due to different job names or use of labels).
