Has anyone had lots of trouble configuring Grafana via YAML from the documentation? A lot of it is kind of hard to follow.

I've found that the ability to (pre)configure Grafana without clicking around in it is pretty difficult.

I recommend using your preferred flavor of configuration management tool. It is tricky, especially when you want to provision multiple users in different Grafana organizations, data sources, and their dashboards, but it can be done (I prefer Puppet because of its flexible language, but Ansible should also work).
