Grafana Schemas Terraform Provider (experimental)

This is a generated provider to manage Grafana dashboards.

The code in this repository should be considered experimental. It comes with no support, but we are keen to receive feedback on the product and suggestions on how to improve it, though we cannot commit to resolution of any particular issue. No SLAs are available. It is not meant to be used in production environments, and the risks are unknown/high.

Our goal is for these generated data sources to become a part of our official Grafana provider once this project becomes more mature. At this time, we are not planning to create a migration path for data sources created with the schemas provider when they are merged into the grafana provider. Also, this work is subject to signficant changes as we iterate towards that level of quality.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0

Maturity

Grafana Labs defines experimental features as follows:

Projects and features in the Experimental stage are supported only by the Engineering teams; on-call support is not available. Documentation is either limited or not provided outside of code comments. No SLA is provided.

Experimental projects or features are primarily intended for open source engineers who want to participate in ensuring systems stability, and to gain consensus and approval for open source governance projects.

Projects and features in the Experimental phase are not meant to be used in production environments, and the risks are unknown/high.

Usage

This provider should be used with the Grafana Terraform Provider. It is generated from the CUE schemas defined in the Grafana repository to ensure it stays up-to-date.

Configure the Grafana Terraform Provider to access your Grafana instance (see documentation). Then use this Grafana Schemas Terraform provider to create your dashboards.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    schemas = {
      source  = "grafana/schemas"
      version = "0.1.0"
    }
    grafana = {
      source  = "grafana/grafana"
      version = "1.36.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "grafana" {
  url  = "http://localhost:3000"
  auth = "admin:admin"
}

data "schemas_core_dashboard" "my_dashboard" {
  title = "My Dashboard"

  time = {
    from = "now-1h"
  }

  panels = [
    data.schemas_panel_stat.my_panel.rendered_json,
  ]
}

data "schemas_panel_stat" "my_panel" {
  title = "My Panel"

  grid_pos = {
    h = 4
    w = 6
    x = 0
    y = 0
  }
}

resource "grafana_dashboard" "example" {
  config_json = data.schemas_core_dashboard.my_dashboard.rendered_json
}

More examples are available in the "examples" folder.

Development

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0
• Go >= 1.19

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

go install

If you want to re-generate the provider, use the make generate command.

Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

To compile the provider, run go install. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.
