prometheus-operator: Can't see dashboards added by ConfigMaps

What did you do?

Added dashboards files as ConfigMaps

What did you expect to see?

These new dashboards in Grafana

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

None of these dashboards

I checked the logs from the grafana-watcher container and I can see:

2018/06/09 03:01:28 Initializing datasources.

As you can see the watcher has created them (istio-dashboards/*)… that’s really strange…

Instructions from @aranair help me a lot #1408 to set basics, however it seems I missed something to make show them in the UI 😀

Does anyone have an idea about that?

Thank you!
