Grafana Ansible collection

The Grafana Ansible collection provides configuration management resources for Grafana. You can use it to manage:

• Grafana Cloud stacks
• Dashboards
• Data sources
• Folders
• Alerting contact points
• Notification policies
• API keys

If your resources aren't currently available in the Grafana Ansible collection, you can manage them on Grafana Cloud programmatically by writing Ansible playbooks that use the Ansible's built-in URI module to call the HTTP APIs to manage resources for the Grafana Cloud portal, as well as those within a stack.
