A stand-alone cookbook for Grafana. The 2.x versions of this cookbook work with the 2.x versions of Grafana. There is no backward compatibility for pre-2.0 versions of Grafana in the 2.x versions of this cookbook.
If you would like to configure pre-2.0 versions of Grafana, please use the 1.x branch and 1.x versions of this cookbook in the supermarket. There is a 1.x tag for PRs or Issues related to the 1.x branch.
- apt
- yum
- nginx
As with most cookbooks, this one is hopefully flexible enough to be wrapped by allowing you to override as much as possible. Please let us know if you find a value that is not configurable.

node['grafana']['nginx']['template_cookbook'] |

The cookbook containing said template |
The default recipe will:
- install Grafana via downloaded system package
- install
nginx
to proxy the grafana application
If you want to install the Grafana package repository, update node['grafana']['install_type']
attribute to package
. Additionally, the node['grafana']['version']
can be set to 'latest'
so that the very latest Grafana build is used instead of the default release.
Nginx is used to proxy Grafana to run on port 80. If you don't want this cookbook to handle the webserver config simply set node['grafana']['webserver']
to ''
in a role/environment/node somewhere.
NOTE
There is NO security enabled by default on any of the content being served.
If you would like to modify the nginx
parameters, you should:
- create your own cookbook i.e.
my-grafana
- copy the template for the webserver you wish to use to your cookbook
- modify the template as you see fit (add auth, setup ssl)
- use the appropriate webserver template attributes to point to your cookbook and template
It's important to note that Grafana must be running for these resources to be used because they utilitze Grafana's HTTP API. In your recipe, you'll simply need to make sure that you include the default recipe that starts Grafana before using these.
You can control Grafana dataSources via the grafana_datasource
LWRP. Due to the varying nature of the potential data sources, the information used to create the datasource is consumed by the resource as a Hash (the source
attribute). The examples should illustrate the flexibility. The full breadth of options are (or will be) documented on the Grafana website, however you can discover undocumented parameters by inspecting the HTTP requests your browser makes to the Grafana server.
Attribute | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
host |
String |
'localhost' |
The host grafana is running on |
port |
Integer |
3000 |
The port grafana is running on |
admin_user |
String |
'admin' |
A grafana user with admin privileges |
admin_password |
String |
'admin' |
The grafana user's password |
datasource |
Hash |
{} |
A Hash of the values to create the datasource. Examples below. |
action |
String |
create |
Valid actions are create , update , and delete . |
You can create a data source for Graphite as follows:
grafana_datasource 'graphite-test' do
datasource(
type: 'graphite',
url: 'http://10.0.0.15:8080',
access: 'direct'
)
end
You can create a data source for InfluxDB 0.8.x and make it the default dashboard as follows:
grafana_datasource 'influxdb-test' do
datasource(
type: 'influxdb_08',
url: 'http://10.0.0.10:8086',
access: 'proxy',
database: 'metrics',
user: 'dashboard',
password: 'dashpass',
isdefault: true
)
action :create
end
You can update an existing datasource as follows:
grafana_datasource 'influxdb-test' do
datasource(
type: 'influxdb_09',
url: 'http://10.0.0.10:8086',
access: 'proxy',
database: 'metrics',
user: 'dashboard',
password: 'dashpass',
isdefault: true
)
action :create
end
And even rename it:
grafana_datasource 'influxdb-test' do
datasource(
name: 'influxdb test',
type: 'influxdb_08',
url: 'http://10.0.0.10:8086',
access: 'proxy',
database: 'metrics',
user: 'dashboard',
password: 'dashpass',
isdefault: true
)
action :create
end
Finally, you can also delete a datasource:
grafana_datasource 'influxdb-test' do
action :delete
end
Dashboards in Grafana are always going to be incredibly specific to the application, but you may want to be able to create a new dashboard along with a newly provisioned stack. This resource assumes you have a static json file that displays the information that will be flowing from the newly created stack.
This resource currently makes an assumption that the name used in invocation matches the name of the dashboard. This will obviously have limitations, and could change in the future. More documentation on creating Grafana dashboards via the HTTP API can be found here.
Attribute | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
host |
String |
'localhost' |
The host grafana is running on |
port |
Integer |
3000 |
The port grafana is running on |
admin_user |
String |
'admin' |
A grafana user with admin privileges |
admin_password |
String |
'admin' |
The grafana user's password |
dashboard |
String |
A Hash of the values to create the dashboard. Examples below. | |
action |
String |
create |
Valid actions are create , update , and delete . Create can update the dashbord, be careful (see below for details) ! |
Assuming you have a files/default/simple-dashboard.json
:
grafana_dashboard 'simple-dashboard'
If you'd like to use a my-dashboard.json
with the title "title": "Test Dash"
:
grafana_dashboard 'test-dash' do
dashboard(
source: 'my-dashboard',
overwrite: false
)
end
If the dashboard you would like to import is already on disk with the title "title": "On Disk Dash"
:
grafana_dashboard 'on-disk-dash' do
dashboard(
path: '/opt/grafana/dashboards/local-dash.json'
)
end
You can update a dashboard. For that, you have 2 options:
Use create
action with overwrite
dashboard property, like:
grafana_dashboard 'on-disk-dash' do
dashboard(
path: '/opt/grafana/dashboards/local-dash.json',
overwrite: true
)
action :create
end
Or use update
action, which will force overwrite
dashboard property to true:
grafana_dashboard 'on-disk-dash' do
dashboard(
path: '/opt/grafana/dashboards/local-dash.json'
)
action :update
end
Finally, you can delete a dashboard:
grafana_dashboard 'test-dash' do
action :delete
end
This resource will allow you to create organizations within Grafana.
More information about creating Grafana organizations via the HTTP API can be found here.
Attribute | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
host |
String |
'localhost' |
The host grafana is running on |
port |
Integer |
3000 |
The port grafana is running on |
admin_user |
String |
'admin' |
A grafana user with admin privileges |
admin_password |
String |
'admin' |
The grafana user's password |
`organization | Hash |
{} |
A Hash of the values to create the organization. Examples below. |
action |
String |
create_if_missing |
Valid actions are create , update and delete . |
Assuming you would like to create a new organization called Second Org.
:
grafana_organization 'Second Org.'
You can also update an existing organization (usefull to change the name of the default organization):
grafana_organization 'Main Org.' do
organization(
name: 'Main Org 2.'
)
action :update
end
You will finally be able to delete an organization (WARNING: this change is NOT supported in Grafana 2.1.3):
grafana_organization 'Second Org.' do
action :delete
end
This resource will allow you to create global users within Grafana. This resource is minimally viable and only supports the addition of global non-admin users. Contribution to the functionality would be appreciated.
More information about creating Grafana users via the HTTP API can be found here.
Attribute | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
host |
String |
'localhost' |
The host grafana is running on |
port |
Integer |
3000 |
The port grafana is running on |
admin_user |
String |
'admin' |
A grafana user with admin privileges |
admin_password |
String |
'admin' |
The grafana user's password |
user |
Hash |
{} |
A Hash of the values to create the user. Examples below. |
action |
String |
create |
Valid actions are create , update , delete . |
Assuming you would like to create a new user...
grafana_user 'j.smith' do
user(
name: 'John Smith',
email: 'test@example.com',
password: 'test123',
isAdmin: true
)
action :create
end
User's login property is not mandatory. Default goes to resource name.
To update user's details, password and permissions
grafana_user 'j.smith' do
user(
name: 'John Smith',
email: 'test@example.com',
password: 'test1234',
isAdmin: false
)
action :update
end
To update user's login, use current login as resource name and new login as user property, like:
grafana_user 'j.smith' do
user(
name: 'John Smith',
login: 'john.smith',
email: 'test@example.com',
password: 'test1234',
isAdmin: false
)
action :update
end
And finally to delete a user
grafana_user 'john.smith' do
action :delete
end
