Terraform based, with a bit of bash help, Grafana dashboards backup solution.
- Export dashboards and auto commit to repository of your choice.
- Import previously exported dashboards to the same or different Grafana instance.
- Works with Jenkins OTB.
- Flexible implementation allows for easy adoption to other automation servers.
| tool | function |
|---|---|
| Terraform with grafana provider | export/import dashboards |
| bash | run Terraform commands, transform Terraform output into json files, commit dashboards to git repo |
| Docker | create Jenkins agent image, with necessary toolset |
| Jenkins | export/import tasks orchestrator |
- Jenkins, with Docker agent, to run export/import jobs.
- Grafana api key, to access dashboards.
- Git repo for exported dashboards, as well as ssh keys for read/write access.
- Create copy of this repo.
- Update Jenkins pipelines with your custom configuration, if necessary.
NOTE
Remember to modify bash scripts permissions:
git update-index --add --chmod=+x my-script.sh
- Add Grafana and git credentials to Jenkins Credential store.
- Add export and import as two separate Multibranch pipelines.
NOTE
Initial run of both jobs will likely fail, since job parameters need to be populated first.
