automatic plugin provisioning via API

[MichalPloski]

We try to deploy grafana with kubernetes-app plugin. Installing plugins is easy but I can't see any simple way to: a) Enabling plugin b) Configure plugin via API call ( i.e datasource )

Additonally as we modify default dashboards it should be possible to not import default ones when plugin is enabled ( maybe additional option for it )

Workaround:

Enable plugin:

curl -v --basic -XPOST "admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/plugins/grafana-kubernetes-app/settings?enabled=true"

Configure datasource:

curl -v --basic -XPOST "admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/datasources" -d '{"type":"grafana-kubernetes-datasource","name":"k8s.dev.io","url":"https://api.k8s.dev.io","access":"proxy","jsonData":{"keepCookies":[],"ds":"prometheus","tlsSkipVerify":true},"basicAuth":true,"basicAuthUser":"admin","basicAuthPassword":"admin"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Ansible example:

- name: Install grafana plugins
  grafana_plugin:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    version: latest
    state: present
  with_items: "{{ grafana_plugins }}"
  notify: restart grafana
  ignore_errors: true

- name: Enable grafana  kubernetes plugin
  uri:
      url: "http://{{ grafana_local_ip }}:{{ grafana_port }}/api/plugins/grafana-kubernetes-app/settings?enabled=true"
      method: POST
      user: "{{ grafana_user }}"
      password: "{{ grafana_password }}"
      body: ''
      body_format: json
      force_basic_auth: yes
      headers:
        Content-Type: "application/json"

- name: Configure grafana kubernetes plugin datasource
  uri:
      url: "http://{{ grafana_local_ip }}:{{ grafana_port }}/api/datasources"
      method: POST
      user:  "{{ grafana_user }}"
      password: "{{ grafana_password }}"
      body: '{"type":"grafana-kubernetes-datasource","name":"k8s.dev.shedul.io","url":"https://api.k8s.dev.shedul.io","access":"proxy","jsonData":{"keepCookies":[],"ds":"prometheus","tlsSkipVerify":true},"basicAuth":true,"basicAuthUser":"admin","basicAuthPassword":"7GPfUrkCobA98nGWxL8liTyXYCXUFejN"}'
      body_format: json
      force_basic_auth: yes
      status_code: 200,409
      headers:
        Content-Type: "application/json"
