# Provision Grafana

In previous versions of Grafana, you could only use the API for provisioning data sources and dashboards. But that required the service to be running before you started creating dashboards and you also needed to set up credentials for the HTTP API. In v5.0 we decided to improve this experience by adding a new active provisioning system that uses config files. This will make GitOps more natural as data sources and dashboards can be defined via files that can be version controlled. We hope to extend this system to later add support for users, orgs and alerts as well.

## Config File

See [Configuration]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/" >}}) for more information on what you can configure in `grafana.ini`.

### Config File Locations

- Default configuration from `$WORKING_DIR/conf/defaults.ini`
- Custom configuration from `$WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.ini`
- The custom configuration file path can be overridden using the `--config` parameter

> **Note:** If you have installed Grafana using the `deb` or `rpm`
> packages, then your configuration file is located at
> `/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`. This path is specified in the Grafana
> init.d script using `--config` file parameter.

### Using Environment Variables

It is possible to use environment variable interpolation in all 3 provisioning configuration types. Allowed syntax
is either `$ENV_VAR_NAME` or `${ENV_VAR_NAME}` and can be used only for values not for keys or bigger parts
of the configurations. It is not available in the dashboard's definition files just the dashboard provisioning
configuration.
Example:

```yaml
datasources:
  - name: Graphite
    url: http://localhost:$PORT
    user: $USER
    secureJsonData:
      password: $PASSWORD
```

If you have a literal `$` in your value and want to avoid interpolation, `$$` can be used.

## Configuration Management Tools

Currently we do not provide any scripts/manifests for configuring Grafana. Rather than spending time learning and creating scripts/manifests for each tool, we think our time is better spent making Grafana easier to provision. Therefore, we heavily rely on the expertise of the community.

| Tool      | Project                                                                                                        |

## Data sources

> **Note:** Available in Grafana v5.0 and higher.

You can manage data sources in Grafana by adding YAML configuration files in the [`provisioning/datasources`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#provisioning" >}}) directory.
Each config file can contain a list of `datasources` to add or update during startup.
If the data source already exists, Grafana reconfigures it to match the provisioned configuration file.

The configuration file can also list data sources to automatically delete, called `deleteDatasources`.
Grafana deletes the data sources listed in `deleteDatasources` _before_ adding or updating those in the `datasources` list.

### Running multiple Grafana instances

If you run multiple instances of Grafana, add a version number to each data source in the configuration and increase it when you update the configuration.
Grafana updates only data sources with the same or lower version number than specified in the config.
This prevents old configurations from overwriting newer ones if you have different versions of the `datasource.yaml` file that don't define version numbers, and then restart instances at the same time.

### Example data source config file

This example provisions a [Graphite data source]({{< relref "../../datasources/graphite" >}}):

```yaml
# Configuration file version
apiVersion: 1

# List of data sources to delete from the database.
deleteDatasources:
  - name: Graphite
    orgId: 1

# List of data sources to insert/update depending on what's
# available in the database.
datasources:
  # <string, required> Sets the name you use to refer to
  # the data source in panels and queries.
  - name: Graphite
    # <string, required> Sets the data source type.
    type: graphite
    # <string, required> Sets the access mode, either
    # proxy or direct (Server or Browser in the UI).
    # Some data sources are incompatible with any setting
    # but proxy (Server).
    access: proxy
    # <int> Sets the organization id. Defaults to orgId 1.
    orgId: 1
    # <string> Sets a custom UID to reference this
    # data source in other parts of the configuration.
    # If not specified, Grafana generates one.
    uid: my_unique_uid
    # <string> Sets the data source's URL, including the
    # port.
    url: http://localhost:8080
    # <string> Sets the database user, if necessary.
    user:
    # <string> Sets the database name, if necessary.
    database:
    # <bool> Enables basic authorization.
    basicAuth:
    # <string> Sets the basic authorization username.
    basicAuthUser:
    # <bool> Enables credential headers.
    withCredentials:
    # <bool> Toggles whether the data source is pre-selected
    # for new panels. You can set only one default
    # data source per organization.
    isDefault:
    # <map> Fields to convert to JSON and store in jsonData.
    jsonData:
      # <string> Defines the Graphite service's version.
      graphiteVersion: '1.1'
      # <bool> Enables TLS authentication using a client
      # certificate configured in secureJsonData.
      tlsAuth: true
      # <bool> Enables TLS authentication using a CA
      # certificate.
      tlsAuthWithCACert: true
    # <map> Fields to encrypt before storing in jsonData.
    secureJsonData:
      # <string> Defines the CA cert, client cert, and
      # client key for encrypted authentication.
      tlsCACert: '...'
      tlsClientCert: '...'
      tlsClientKey: '...'
      # <string> Sets the database password, if necessary.
      password:
      # <string> Sets the basic authorization password.
      basicAuthPassword:
    version: 1
    # <bool> Allows users to edit data sources from the
    # Grafana UI.
    editable: false
```

For provisioning examples of specific data sources, refer to that [data source's documentation]({{< relref "../../datasources" >}}).

#### JSON Data

Since not all data sources have the same configuration settings, we include only the most common ones as fields.
To provision the rest of a data source's settings, include them as a JSON blob in the `jsonData` field.

Common settings in the [built-in core data sources]({{< relref "../../datasources#built-in-core-data-sources" >}}) include:

> **Note:** Data sources tagged with _HTTP\*_ communicate using the HTTP protocol, which includes all core data source plugins except MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL.

For examples of specific data sources' JSON data, refer to that [data source's documentation]({{< relref "../../datasources" >}}).

#### Secure JSON Data

Secure JSON data is a map of settings that will be encrypted with [secret key]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#secret_key" >}}) from the Grafana config. The purpose of this is only to hide content from the users of the application. This should be used for storing TLS Cert and password that Grafana will append to the request on the server side. All of these settings are optional.

> **Note:** The _HTTP\*_ tag denotes data sources that communicate using the HTTP protocol, including all core data source plugins except MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL.

| Name              | Type   | Data source                        | Description                                              |

| tlsClientKey      | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL        | TLS Client key for outgoing requests                     |
| password          | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL | password                                                 |

| secretKey         | string | Cloudwatch                         | Secret key for connecting to Cloudwatch                  |
| sigV4AccessKey    | string | Elasticsearch and Prometheus       | SigV4 access key. Required when using keys auth provider |
| sigV4SecretKey    | string | Elasticsearch and Prometheus       | SigV4 secret key. Required when using keys auth provider |

#### Custom HTTP headers for data sources

Data sources managed by Grafanas provisioning can be configured to add HTTP headers to all requests
going to that data source. The header name is configured in the `jsonData` field and the header value should be
configured in `secureJsonData`.

```yaml
apiVersion: 1

datasources:
  - name: Graphite
    jsonData:
      httpHeaderName1: 'HeaderName'
      httpHeaderName2: 'Authorization'
    secureJsonData:
      httpHeaderValue1: 'HeaderValue'
      httpHeaderValue2: 'Bearer XXXXXXXXX'
```

## Plugins

> **Note:** Available in Grafana v7.1 and higher.

You can manage plugin applications in Grafana by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/plugins`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#provisioning" >}}) directory. Each config file can contain a list of `apps` that will be updated during start up. Grafana updates each app to match the configuration file.

> **Note:** This feature enables you to provision plugin configurations, not the plugins themselves.
> The plugins must already be installed on the Grafana instance.

### Example plugin configuration file

```yaml
apiVersion: 1

apps:
  # <string> the type of app, plugin identifier. Required
  - type: raintank-worldping-app
    # <int> Org ID. Default to 1, unless org_name is specified
    org_id: 1
    # <string> Org name. Overrides org_id unless org_id not specified
    org_name: Main Org.
    # <bool> disable the app. Default to false.
    disabled: false
    # <map> fields that will be converted to json and stored in jsonData. Custom per app.
    jsonData:
      # key/value pairs of string to object
      key: value
    # <map> fields that will be converted to json, encrypted and stored in secureJsonData. Custom per app.
    secureJsonData:
      # key/value pairs of string to string
      key: value
```

## Dashboards

You can manage dashboards in Grafana by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/dashboards`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#dashboards" >}}) directory. Each config file can contain a list of `dashboards providers` that load dashboards into Grafana from the local filesystem.

The dashboard provider config file looks somewhat like this:

```yaml
apiVersion: 1

providers:
  # <string> an unique provider name. Required
  - name: 'a unique provider name'
    # <int> Org id. Default to 1
    orgId: 1
    # <string> name of the dashboard folder.
    folder: ''
    # <string> folder UID. will be automatically generated if not specified
    folderUid: ''
    # <string> provider type. Default to 'file'
    type: file
    # <bool> disable dashboard deletion
    disableDeletion: false
    # <int> how often Grafana will scan for changed dashboards
    updateIntervalSeconds: 10
    # <bool> allow updating provisioned dashboards from the UI
    allowUiUpdates: false
    options:
      # <string, required> path to dashboard files on disk. Required when using the 'file' type
      path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards
      # <bool> use folder names from filesystem to create folders in Grafana
      foldersFromFilesStructure: true
```

When Grafana starts, it will update/insert all dashboards available in the configured path. Then later on poll that path every **updateIntervalSeconds** and look for updated json files and update/insert those into the database.

> **Note:** Dashboards are provisioned to the General folder if the `folder` option is missing or empty.

#### Making changes to a provisioned dashboard

It's possible to make changes to a provisioned dashboard in the Grafana UI. However, it is not possible to automatically save the changes back to the provisioning source.
If `allowUiUpdates` is set to `true` and you make changes to a provisioned dashboard, you can `Save` the dashboard then changes will be persisted to the Grafana database.

> **Note:**
> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and then later updated from the source, the dashboard stored in the database will always be overwritten. The `version` property in the JSON file will not affect this, even if it is lower than the existing dashboard.
>
> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and the source is removed, the dashboard stored in the database will be deleted unless the configuration option `disableDeletion` is set to true.

If `allowUiUpdates` is configured to `false`, you are not able to make changes to a provisioned dashboard. When you click `Save`, Grafana brings up a _Cannot save provisioned dashboard_ dialog. The screenshot below illustrates this behavior.

Grafana offers options to export the JSON definition of a dashboard. Either `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` can help you synchronize your dashboard changes back to the provisioning source.

Note: The JSON definition in the input field when using `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` will have the `id` field automatically removed to aid the provisioning workflow.

### Reusable Dashboard URLs

If the dashboard in the JSON file contains an [UID]({{< relref "../../dashboards/build-dashboards/view-dashboard-json-model" >}}), Grafana forces insert/update on that UID. This allows you to migrate dashboards between Grafana instances and provisioning Grafana from configuration without breaking the URLs given because the new dashboard URL uses the UID as identifier.
When Grafana starts, it updates/inserts all dashboards available in the configured folders. If you modify the file, then the dashboard is also updated.
By default, Grafana deletes dashboards in the database if the file is removed. You can disable this behavior using the `disableDeletion` setting.

> **Note:** Provisioning allows you to overwrite existing dashboards
> which leads to problems if you reuse settings that are supposed to be unique.
> Be careful not to reuse the same `title` multiple times within a folder
> or `uid` within the same installation as this will cause weird behaviors.

### Provision folders structure from filesystem to Grafana

If you already store your dashboards using folders in a git repo or on a filesystem, and also you want to have the same folder names in the Grafana menu, you can use `foldersFromFilesStructure` option.

For example, to replicate these dashboards structure from the filesystem to Grafana,

```
/etc/dashboards
├── /server
│   ├── /common_dashboard.json
│   └── /network_dashboard.json
└── /application
    ├── /requests_dashboard.json
    └── /resources_dashboard.json
```

you need to specify just this short provision configuration file.

```yaml
apiVersion: 1

providers:
  - name: dashboards
    type: file
    updateIntervalSeconds: 30
    options:
      path: /etc/dashboards
      foldersFromFilesStructure: true
```

`server` and `application` will become new folders in Grafana menu.

> **Note:** `folder` and `folderUid` options should be empty or missing to make `foldersFromFilesStructure` work.

> **Note:** To provision dashboards to the General folder, store them in the root of your `path`.

## Alerting

For information on provisioning Grafana Alerting, refer to [Provision Grafana Alerting resources]({{< relref "../../alerting/set-up/provision-alerting-resources/"  >}}).

## Alert Notification Channels

> **Note:** Alert Notification Channels are part of legacy alerting, which is deprecated and will be removed in Grafana 10. Use the Provision contact points section in [Create and manage alerting resources using file provisioning]({{< relref "../../alerting/set-up/provision-alerting-resources/file-provisioning" >}}).

Alert Notification Channels can be provisioned by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/notifiers`](/administration/configuration/#provisioning) directory.

Each config file can contain the following top-level fields:

- `notifiers`, a list of alert notifications that will be added or updated during start up. If the notification channel already exists, Grafana will update it to match the configuration file.
- `delete_notifiers`, a list of alert notifications to be deleted before inserting/updating those in the `notifiers` list.

Provisioning looks up alert notifications by uid, and will update any existing notification with the provided uid.

By default, exporting a dashboard as JSON will use a sequential identifier to refer to alert notifications. The field `uid` can be optionally specified to specify a string identifier for the alert name.

```json
{
  ...
      "alert": {
        ...,
        "conditions": [...],
        "frequency": "24h",
        "noDataState": "ok",
        "notifications": [
           {"uid": "notifier1"},
           {"uid": "notifier2"},
        ]
      }
  ...
}
```

### Example Alert Notification Channels Config File

```yaml
notifiers:
  - name: notification-channel-1
    type: slack
    uid: notifier1
    # either
    org_id: 2
    # or
    org_name: Main Org.
    is_default: true
    send_reminder: true
    frequency: 1h
    disable_resolve_message: false
    # See `Supported Settings` section for settings supported for each
    # alert notification type.
    settings:
      recipient: 'XXX'
      uploadImage: true
      token: 'xoxb' # legacy setting since Grafana v7.2 (stored non-encrypted)
      url: https://slack.com # legacy setting since Grafana v7.2 (stored non-encrypted)
    # Secure settings that will be encrypted in the database (supported since Grafana v7.2). See `Supported Settings` section for secure settings supported for each notifier.
    secure_settings:
      token: 'xoxb'
      url: https://slack.com

delete_notifiers:
  - name: notification-channel-1
    uid: notifier1
    # either
    org_id: 2
    # or
    org_name: Main Org.
  - name: notification-channel-2
    # default org_id: 1
```

### Supported Settings

The following sections detail the supported settings and secure settings for each alert notification type. Secure settings are stored encrypted in the database and you add them to `secure_settings` in the YAML file instead of `settings`.

> **Note:** Secure settings is supported since Grafana v7.2.
