Grafana API based, bash supported, data sources backup solution.
- Export data sources and auto commit to repository of your choice.
- Import previously exported data sources to the same or different Grafana instance.
- Works with Jenkins OTB.
- Flexible implementation allows for easy adoption to other automation servers.
| tool | function |
|---|---|
| bash | export/import data sources, commit data sources to git repo |
| Docker | create Jenkins agent image, with necessary toolset |
| Jenkins | export/import tasks orchestrator |
- Jenkins, with Docker agent, to run export/import jobs.
- Grafana api key, to access data sources.
- Git repo for exported data sources, as well as ssh keys for read/write access.
- Create copy of this repo.
- Update Jenkins pipelines with your custom configuration, if necessary.
NOTE
Remember to modify bash scripts permissions:
git update-index --add --chmod=+x my-script.sh
- Add Grafana and git credentials to Jenkins Credential store.
- Add export and import as two separate Multibranch pipelines.
NOTE
Initial run of both jobs will likely fail, since job parameters need to be populated first.
