Maybe you should try to download your dashboard from the API so you will a "proper" json model to push after?
You can download it with the following command :
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://grafana.domain.tld/api/dashboards/uid/$DASHBOARD_UID
An other way to do it , you can download a dashboard JSON on grafana website => grafana.com/dashboards and try to upload it with your current code? ;)
The dashboard field contain everything that will be display, alerts, graph etc....
Here is an example of dashboard.json :

Edit:
Here is a JSON snipper for templating your dashboard :
"templating": {
"list": [
{
"allValue": null,
"current": {
"text": "PRD_Web01",
"value": "PRD_Web01"
},
"datasource": "Collectd",
"hide": 0,
"includeAll": false,
"label": null,
"multi": false,
"name": "host",
"options": [],
"query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY=host",
"refresh": 1,
"regex": "",
"sort": 0,
"tagValuesQuery": "",
"tags": [],
"tagsQuery": "",
"type": "query",
"useTags": false
},
{
"allValue": null,
"current": {
"text": "sda",
"value": "sda"
},
"datasource": "Collectd",
"hide": 0,
"includeAll": false,
"label": null,
"multi": false,
"name": "device",
"options": [],
"query": "SHOW TAG VALUES FROM \"disk_read\" WITH KEY = \"instance\"",
"refresh": 1,
"regex": "",
"sort": 0,
"tagValuesQuery": "",
"tags": [],

}
]
},
As I read your answer, I guess you will be OK with this ;). I will try to keep a better eye on this thread
