Query Existing Grafana Data Sources

To connect your Grafana account to Playbooks, the step vary basis the version of Grafana that you are using.

For version 9.1 and above:

Prerequisites: Ensure you have admin access to your Grafana instance and the ability to generate Service Accounts.
Create Service Account: In your Grafana dashboard, navigate to Admin >> Users & Access >> Service Accounts >> Create a Service Account
Generate Service Account Key: Within Service Account, create a new API key/token with Viewer permissions.
Configuring Connection in Playbooks: Go to Integrations > Grafana in the Playbooks platform. Enter your Grafana instance URL and the API key you generated.
Testing the Integration: Test the connection and save the credentials.

Note: If you are using an older version of Grafana, you will be able to create an API key instead of Service Account key. Additionally, after 9.1, Grafana introduced a few breaking changes so please connect with us in case any of your functionalities are not working as expected.

Note:

Post the successful integration, the platform will programmatically start fetching metadata from Grafana. This includes a list of data sources that are already within the Grafana platform.
