This repository contains Terraform configurations for installing the Grafana Helm chart in a Kubernetes cluster and using the Grafana Terraform provider to create resources such as groups, dashboards, and more.
This repository assumes you have access to the following:
- A Kubernetes cluster (>= v1.20)
- Terraform installed (>= v1.0)
- An ingress controller such as NGINX Ingress Controller
The quick start uses minikube. If you do not have minikube installed, please download it from their releases page.
Note: This quick start guide uses minikube version: v1.18.1. You can download this version here.
Disclaimer: I have not tested this repository against other versions of minikube.
After installing minikube, you need to set up an ingress. To install the NGINX Ingress Controller, run the following command:
minikube addons enable ingressAfter the ingress controller is installed, you can then run the following Terraform commands:
terraform init
terraform applyThe plan will create the following resources:
grafana_organization.this
helm_release.this
kubernetes_secret.this
The Kubernetes secret contains the Grafana username and password used (admin:admin).
The Helm release installs the Grafana Helm chart.
After terraform apply runs, you can access the console via your web browser. The grafana_url output contains the hyperlink to access the console. You can also invoke the following command to retrieve the hyperlink value:
