Grafana Sidecar Sample

Installs the web dashboarding system Grafana with sidecar support. Additionally add dashboards from configmaps to specific folders in grafana.

Tested with Chart stable/grafana Version: 3.7.3, 6.4.2

Create the PersistentVolume

kubectl apply -f persistent-volumes/pv-pvc-grafana.yml

Installing the Chart

helm install --name grafana stable/grafana -f grafana-values.yaml

Create the ConfigMaps

kubectl apply -f configmaps/account-dashboard-cm.yaml

kubectl apply -f configmaps/team-1-dashboard-cm.yaml

If you now go to the Grafana instance, the dashboards should be visible inside the folders. (Maybe you need a port-forward)

kubectl port-forward <pod-name> 3000

Add another folder

To add more folders you have to add another dashboardProviders to the grafana-values Yaml.

dashboardProviders:
  dashboardproviders.yaml:
    apiVersion: 1
    providers:
    - name: 'new-team'
      orgId: 1
      folder: 'New-Team'
      type: file
      disableDeletion: true
      editable: false
      options:
        path: /tmp/dashboards/new-team

Additionally you have to make sure that the dashboards that are added with the ConfigMap have the following label and annotation set:

metadata:
  labels:
    grafana_dashboard: "1"
  annotations:
    k8s-sidecar-target-directory: "/tmp/dashboards/new-team"

In the annotation k8s-sidecar-target-directory, you specify the folder (the folder must already present in the dashboardProviders).
