As the title indicates I'm trying to setup grafana using helmfile with a datasource via values.
I can find the docs here but sadly my knowledge is too limited to make it work.
The relevant part of my helmfile is here
releases:
...
- name: grafana
namespace: grafana
chart: stable/grafana
values:
- datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
url: http://prometheus-server.prometheus.svc.cluster.localI stumbled upon this and it seems I can also do it via an environment variable but I can't seem to find an easy way to set such in my helmfile.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone with a better understanding of helmfile, json and whatnot could either show me or guide me in the right direction.
Update: Thanks to @WindyFields my final solution is as follows
releases:
...
- name: grafana
namespace: grafana
chart: stable/grafana
values:
- datasources:
datasources.yaml:
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
access: proxy
url: http://prometheus-server.prometheus.svc.cluster.local
isDefault: trueAnswer
Just add the following snipped straight into values.yaml:
datasources:
datasources.yaml:
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
url: http://prometheus-server.prometheus.svc.cluster.localDetails
After Helm renders the template there will be the following configmap generated:
# Source: grafana/templates/configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: RELEASE-NAME-grafana
labels:
app: grafana
chart: grafana-1.20.0
release: RELEASE-NAME
heritage: Tiller
data:
grafana.ini: |
...
datasources.yaml: |
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
url: http://prometheus-server.prometheus.svc.cluster.local After Helms installs the chart, k8s will take datasources configuration datatsources.yaml from config.yaml and mount it by the following path /etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources/datasources.yaml, where it will be picked up by Grafana app.
See Grafana datasources provisioning doc.
Tip: to see rendered Helm template use helm template <path_to_chart>
