How to text search an entire dashboard config?

[kenwiens]

I am using the amazing spook, and have cleaned up almost all the issue it has identified. Spook identified the following issue (it’s not a problem with spook!) My question isn't a spook question - but because spook identified the over riding issue, perhaps other users have also had the same search issue as me.

I am struggling with one last repair that spook has flagged. This is “Unknown entities used in: Main Views”. It then lists 35 entities that are apparently used somewhere in this dashboard.

This dashboard consists of 35 views. Many of these views contain complex markdown cards with hundreds of lines of conditional code. My problem is searching these 35 views for each of the 35 entities. I have already removed the obvious ones, but the remaining 35 are elusive. I was hoping to find a text search capability to look for these. I have looked at the Raw configuration editor (from the dashboard editing function) but it can’t locate any of them. I tried the search function in the studio code server - no luck either. These 35 entities are all old. They existed at one point but have been removed over the years.

I’d really like to clean them up. I could of course copy each individual view to a separate dashboard and see if spook identifies the entities there - but that would be painful for 35 entities * 35 views. I could open every single card in every single view - but also a long approach when maybe there is a faster way to find these?

Here is a sample of just 1 view:

Thoughts?

Is there some way I could narrow down this search from information in the log files perhaps?

Thanks!

View the source of the dashboard, to view the whole raw configuration; this a great way to search and view everything in there (including things that might not be visible).
