Tags

This role uses two tags: build and configure

• build - Installs Grafana Server and all it's dependencies.
• configure - Configure and ensures that the Grafana Server service is running.

Example

Simply include the role in your playbook to accept the defaults:

sqlite3 database backend

When using sqlite3 grafana will automatically start.

- name: Install Grafana Server
  hosts: "{{ host }}"

  roles:
    - name: sansible.grafana

Include the role in your playbook and override the defaults to connect to another database. When using use a database backend other than the default sqlite3, grafana will not start automatically. It can be started once the database and defined user have been created.

- name: Install and configure the grafana server
  hosts: "{{ host }}"
