Provisioning

Grafana supports managing data sources by adding one or more YAML config files in the provisioning/datasources folder.

Configuration​

Example of provisioning the Business Satellite Data Source for the remote Grafana instance.

datasources:
  - name: Business Satellite
    type: volkovlabs-grapi-datasource
    access: proxy
    uid: grapi
    orgId: 1
    version: 1
    editable: true
    jsonData:
      url: https://GRAFANA-IP:GRAFANA-PORT
    secureJsonData:
      token: API-KEY

Data Sources​

When provisioned, the data source should be available in the Data sources lists.

Set Token​

To complete the provisioning you need to set the token using UI or HTTP API:

#!/bin/sh

# Generate a new token
jsonTokenApi=$(curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"apiKey-grapi", "role": "Admin"}' \
    http://${GRAFANA_USER}:${GRAFANA_PASSWORD}@${GRAFANA_IP}:${GRAFANA_PORT}/api/auth/keys)
token=$(echo $jsonTokenApi | jq .key)

# Get Provisioned Data Source configuration
jsonDataSource=$(curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    http://${GRAFANA_USER}:${GRAFANA_PASSWORD}@${GRAFANA_IP}:${GRAFANA_PORT}/api/datasources/name/grapi)
datasourceId=$(echo $jsonDataSource | jq '.id')

# Add a token to Secure JSON Data
echo $jsonDataSource | jq '. + {"secureJsonData":{"token":'$token'}}' |
    jq '. + {"secureJsonFields":{"token":true}}' >.datasource.json

# Update Data Source
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @.datasource.json \
    http://${GRAFANA_USER}:${GRAFANA_PASSWORD}@${GRAFANA_IP}:${GRAFANA_PORT}/api/datasources/${datasourceId}
