​
For version 9.1 and above:

  1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have admin access to your Grafana instance and the ability to generate Service Accounts.
  2. Create Service Account: In your Grafana dashboard, navigate to Admin >> Users & Access >> Service Accounts >> Create a Service Account
  3. Generate Service Account Key: Within Service Account, create a new API key/token with Viewer permissions.
  4. Configuring Connection in Playbooks: Go to Integrations > Grafana in the Playbooks platform. Enter your Grafana instance Host (Must be URL starting with http or https) and the API key you generated. The host should be accessible from the machine where the configuration is being added. (If it’s being added from the Doctor Droid Cloud, then only Grafana instances accessible from internet can be used)
  5. 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.

Using self-hosted grafana behind VPC?

Sure. We understand that this is a common scenario. Read more about how you can deploy our drd-vpc-agent to simplify connecting to such sources.
