Openshift Grafana Dashboards

This example creates a custom Grafana instance preconfigured to gather Prometheus openshift metrics. It uses "OAuth" token to login openshift Prometheus.

Available Dashboards

• openshift cluster metrics
• node exporter metrics

To run grafana and deploy dashboards

Note: make sure to have openshift prometheus deployed (possibly, with node exporter). (https://github.com/openshift/origin/tree/main/examples/prometheus)

Run the deployment script

./setup-grafana.sh -n <any_datasorce_name> -a -e

for more info ./setup-grafana.sh -h

Manual deployment for oauth proxy:

Note: when using oauth make sure your user has permission to browse grafana.

• add a openshift user htpasswd htpasswd -c /etc/origin/master/htpasswd gfadmin
• use the HTPasswdPasswordIdentityProvider as described here - https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.0/admin_guide/configuring_authentication.html
• make sure point the provider file to /etc/origin/master/htpasswd. or using this example cmd:
  Copy

  sed -ie 's|AllowAllPasswordIdentityProvider|HTPasswdPasswordIdentityProvider\n      file: /etc/origin/master/htpasswd|' /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml
  

• add view role to user oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-reader gfadmin
• restart master api systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master-api.service
• get the grafana url by oc get route
• discover your openshift dashboard.
