add support for cql scylla monitor user passthrough to monitoring #227

Closed tarzanek closed 1 year ago

tarzanek commented 1 year ago

right now CQL dashboard and large* and system.clients cql panels are not working out of box

please provide a way how to pass an enable/disable variable ev. user name for monitoring (this user just needs system.clients and system.large* tables read access nothing else) (e.g. let's call him scylla_cql_monitor)

password should be taken from inventory.ini from section:

[cql_credentials]
scylla_cql_monitor=mysecretpassword

https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-monitoring/blob/master/start-grafana.sh#L211 generates datasource needed and https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-monitoring/blob/master/grafana-datasource.sh#L45 expects an env variable SCYLLA_USER and SCYLLA_PSSWD and it will then set it properly when start_all is run (so they can be exported to env before role launches start-all)
