Ansible Role: Grafana

This role installs and configures Grafana - for analytics and monitoring.

It has only been designed to work on Ubuntu 16.04, but other Debian flavours should also work.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

grafana_configuration: This variable is persisted to the Grafana configuration file in INI format. Any valid configuration properties are supported. For example, setting up GitHub OAuth would look something like this:

grafana_configuration:
  'auth.github':
    enabled: yes
    allow_sign_up: yes
    client_id: <your_client_id>
    client_secret: <your_client_secret>
    scopes: user:email
    auth_url: https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize
    token_url: https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token
    api_url: https://api.github.com/user

Note: some settings expect space separated arguments. These can either be specified in a YAML array or as a single string. Other settings need to be comma separated and these must use a single string.

grafana_install_state: This is useful for updating Grafana to newer versions after it has already been installed. Use latest to achieve this functionality.
