+Incase you have lots of json dashboard exported out from grafan UI the above approch is going to take lots of time. to improve performance we can use `rawGrafanaDashboards` field and provide it's value as json string by using importstr
+```jsonnet
+local kp = (import 'kube-prometheus/kube-prometheus.libsonnet') + {
+  _config+:: {
+    namespace: 'monitoring',
+  },
+  rawGrafanaDashboards+:: {
+    'my-dashboard.json': (importstr 'example-grafana-dashboard.json'),
+  },
+};
