Configuring InfluxDB connection

1. Downloaded this repo, preferred stored under /data parent directory
2. Configuring InfluxDB connection in values.yaml

cd /data/otel/helm/grafana
nano +525 values.yaml

3. Modify 'url' and 'token' field according to target InfluxDB (do not change other fields), for example:

## Configure grafana datasources
## ref: http://docs.grafana.org/administration/provisioning/#datasources
##
datasources:
  datasources.yaml:
    apiVersion: 1
    datasources:
      - name: Intel_Influx   
        uid: P8EFB3B3375746E67 
        type: influxdb
        access: proxy
        url: http://192.168.1.107:8086 <-- change to target InfluxDB 
        jsonData:
          version: Flux
          organization: intel
          defaultBucket: intel
          tlsSkipVerify: true
        secureJsonData:
          token: {influxdb token for access}

Grafana Helm Installation examples

Deployment without persistent storage - data wiped out after restart

helm install \
-f /data/otel/helm/grafana/values.yaml \
--set adminPassword="admin" \
--set persistence.enabled=false \
--set persistence.storageClassName="manual" \
--set-file dashboards.default.power-insight-01.json=/data/otel/helm/grafana/dashboards/power-insight.json \
--set-file dashboards.default.cluster-node-mon-01.json=/data/otel/helm/grafana/dashboards/Cluster-Node-Monitoring.json \
intel-grafana grafana/grafana

Deployment with persistent storage

Pre - Cleanup - ensure environment is clean before deployment

cd /data/otel/helm/grafana
helm uninstall intel-grafana
kubectl delete -f persistent.yaml

Pre - Re-create persistent storage

kubectl apply -f persistent.yaml

Sample deployment 01

helm install \
-f /data/otel/helm/grafana/values.yaml \
--set adminPassword="admin" \
--set persistence.enabled=true \
--set persistence.storageClassName="manual" \
intel-grafana grafana/grafana

Sample deployment 02 - import dashboard during deployment

helm install \
-f /data/otel/helm/grafana/values.yaml \
--set adminPassword="admin" \
--set persistence.enabled=true \
--set persistence.storageClassName="manual" \
--set-file dashboards.default.power-insight-01.json=/data/otel/helm/grafana/dashboards/power-insight.json \
