Overview

This module is useful for deploying Grafana as a Docker container on Red Hat systems.

This module configures the Grafana monitoring dashboard on a host in the simplest way possible. It installs Grafana from a package, rather than building from source (how you acquire that package is up to you).

Usage

Building the Image

Add the following to configure a host to build a Grafana image: [^1]

include grafana::docker::image

[^1]: This uses the Docker iamge resources provided by https://github.com/ajsmith/docker-grafana.

Running the Container

To run Grafana as a service, containers are configured to run as systemd services.

The simplest configuration to run the Grafana container is:

grafana::docker::container { 'grafana': }

More than likely, you'll want to manage persistent data using the data volume container pattern. To implement that, we do the following:

grafana::docker::data_volume_container { 'grafana-data': }
->
grafana::docker::container { 'grafana':
  volumes_from => ['grafana-data'],
}

This first creates a service for the data volume container named "grafana-data", then creates a service named "grafana" which mounts volumes from that container.

Compatibility

This module is compatible with Red Hat Linux systems which are capable of running Docker:

• RHEL 7+
• CentOS 7+
• Fedora 20+
