Grafana

To be able to create Grafana annotation with argocd-notifications you have to create an API Key inside your Grafana.

Available parameters :

• apiURL - the server url, e.g. https://grafana.example.com
• apiKey - the API key for the serviceaccount
• insecureSkipVerify - optional bool, true or false
• maxIdleConns - optional, maximum number of idle (keep-alive) connections across all hosts.
• maxIdleConnsPerHost - optional, maximum number of idle (keep-alive) connections per host.
• maxConnsPerHost - optional, maximum total connections per host.
• idleConnTimeout - optional, maximum amount of time an idle (keep-alive) connection will remain open before closing.

1. Login to your Grafana instance as admin
2. On the left menu, go to Configuration / API Keys
3. Click "Add API Key"
4. Fill the Key with name ArgoCD Notification, role Editor and Time to Live 10y (for example)
5. Click on Add button
6. Store apiKey in argocd-notifications-secret Secret and Copy your API Key and define it in argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: argocd-notifications-cm
data:
  service.grafana: |
    apiUrl: https://grafana.example.com/api
    apiKey: $grafana-api-key

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: <secret-name>
stringData:
  grafana-api-key: api-key

7. Create a template in argo-notifications-cm Configmap This will be used to pass the (required) text of the annocation to Grafana (or re-use an existing one) As there is no specific template for Grafana, you must use the generic message:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: argocd-notifications-cm
data:
  templates:
    template.app-deployed: |
      messsage: Application {{.app.metadata.name}} is now running new version of deployments manifests.

8. Create subscription for your Grafana integration

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  annotations:
    notifications.argoproj.io/subscribe.<trigger-name>.grafana: tag1|tag2 # list of tags separated with |

9. Change the annotations settings
