Description

When SEs or SME (Subject Matter Experts) engage with a customer/user of InfluxDB 2, they are usually put into live environments of monitoring/analysis/display where customers have spent some time assembling dashboards.

Often, the situation calls for adding just one or two cells to a customers/user dashboard.

A single 'import this cell into dashboard' or 'import these two cells into dashboard' cli command (that could be fronted by a UI in the future) is something they feel would be extremely useful.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points.

Done means a command can import a single cell or a small set of cells into a customer dashboard.
