grafana
This ansible role installs Grafana - the open-source platform for monitoring and observability. It can produce charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources.
This role installs and configures Grafana from a binary distribution. It also:
-
Uploads custom dashboards
-
Installs plugins
-
Imports public dashboards and data sources
-
Allows admin password changes
Supports user creation
Grafana service requires an environment file at startup, where you can set custom paths for logs (grafana_log_dir), data (grafana_data_dir), and plugins (grafana_plugins_dir). This allows flexible control over Grafana's data storage.
Requirements
You need community.grafana module.
