Creating dashboards and visualizations on Grafana can be a simple task, but when we need to create dozens of dashboards it could require more time and a lot of manual work. Here is where the Grafana as a Code appears – a very good option to write simple code to generate dozens of automated and centralized visualizations that will make you avoid repetitive tasks, copy and pastes, manual work, among all other things.
We present examples in Jsonnet language. It is worth to take a look at those
before jumping to the grafonnet
section, since it is needed to understand
Jsonnet for creating dashboards and visualizations.
All the Jsonnet examples are under the jsonnet-examples.
We setup a local environment with Grafana using docker image with jsonnet
& grafonnet
to generate the JSON models that Grafana can understand.
We provide a docker-compose.yml
to simplify setting up the Grafana sandbox.
Everything is configured already to fetch from the opensearch
data source
that is publicly available. Also, a dashboard from generated JSON model
will appear in the deployed instance once we execute docker compose up
.
For more information follow the grafana folder of this repository.
