# Provision Grafana
In previous versions of Grafana, you could only use the API for provisioning data sources and dashboards. But that required the service to be running before you started creating dashboards and you also needed to set up credentials for the HTTP API. In v5.0 we decided to improve this experience by adding a new active provisioning system that uses config files. This will make GitOps more natural as data sources and dashboards can be defined via files that can be version controlled. We hope to extend this system to later add support for users, orgs and alerts as well.
## Config File
See [Configuration]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/" >}}) for more information on what you can configure in `grafana.ini`.
### Config File Locations
- Default configuration from `$WORKING_DIR/conf/defaults.ini`
- Custom configuration from `$WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.ini`
- The custom configuration file path can be overridden using the `--config` parameter
> **Note:** If you have installed Grafana using the `deb` or `rpm`
> packages, then your configuration file is located at
> `/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`. This path is specified in the Grafana
> init.d script using `--config` file parameter.
### Using Environment Variables
It is possible to use environment variable interpolation in all 3 provisioning configuration types. Allowed syntax
is either `$ENV_VAR_NAME` or `${ENV_VAR_NAME}` and can be used only for values not for keys or bigger parts
of the configurations. It is not available in the dashboard's definition files just the dashboard provisioning
configuration.
Example:
```yaml
datasources:
- name: Graphite
url: http://localhost:$PORT
user: $USER
secureJsonData:
password: $PASSWORD
```
If you have a literal `$` in your value and want to avoid interpolation, `$$` can be used.

## Configuration Management Tools
Currently we do not provide any scripts/manifests for configuring Grafana. Rather than spending time learning and creating scripts/manifests for each tool, we think our time is better spent making Grafana easier to provision. Therefore, we heavily rely on the expertise of the community.
| Tool | Project |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Puppet | [https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/grafana](https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/grafana) |
| Ansible | [https://github.com/cloudalchemy/ansible-grafana](https://github.com/cloudalchemy/ansible-grafana) |
| Chef | [https://github.com/JonathanTron/chef-grafana](https://github.com/JonathanTron/chef-grafana) |
| Saltstack | [https://github.com/salt-formulas/salt-formula-grafana](https://github.com/salt-formulas/salt-formula-grafana) |
| Jsonnet | [https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet-lib/](https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet-lib/) |
## Data sources
> This feature is available from v5.0
It's possible to manage data sources in Grafana by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/datasources`](/administration/configuration/#provisioning) directory. Each config file can contain a list of `datasources` that will get added or updated during start up. If the data source already exists, then Grafana updates it to match the configuration file. The config file can also contain a list of data sources that should be deleted. That list is called `deleteDatasources`. Grafana will delete data sources listed in `deleteDatasources` before inserting/updating those in the `datasource` list.
### Running Multiple Grafana Instances
If you are running multiple instances of Grafana you might run into problems if they have different versions of the `datasource.yaml` configuration file. The best way to solve this problem is to add a version number to each datasource in the configuration and increase it when you update the config. Grafana will only update datasources with the same or lower version number than specified in the config. That way, old configs cannot overwrite newer configs if they restart at the same time.
### Example data source Config File
```yaml
# config file version
apiVersion: 1
# list of datasources that should be deleted from the database
deleteDatasources:
- name: Graphite
orgId: 1
# list of datasources to insert/update depending

datasources:
# <string, required> name of the datasource. Required
- name: Graphite
# <string, required> datasource type. Required
type: graphite
# <string, required> access mode. proxy or direct (Server or Browser in the UI). Required
access: proxy
# <int> org id. will default to orgId 1 if not specified
orgId: 1
# <string> custom UID which can be used to reference this datasource in other parts of the configuration, if not specified will be generated automatically
uid: my_unique_uid
# <string> url
url: http://localhost:8080
# <string> database user, if used
user:
# <string> database name, if used
database:
# <bool> enable/disable basic auth

password:
# <string> basic auth password
basicAuthPassword:

# <bool> allow users to edit datasources from the UI.
editable: false
```
#### Custom Settings per Datasource
Please refer to each datasource documentation for specific provisioning examples.
| Datasource | Misc |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch uses the `database` property to configure the index for a datasource |
#### JSON Data
Since not all datasources have the same configuration settings we only have the most common ones as fields. The rest should be stored as a json blob in the `jsonData` field. Here are the most common settings that the core datasources use.
> **Note:** Datasources tagged with _HTTP\*_ below denotes any data source which communicates using the HTTP protocol, e.g. all core data source plugins except MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL.

#### Secure Json Data
`{"authType":"keys","defaultRegion":"us-west-2","timeField":"@timestamp"}`
Secure json data is a map of settings that will be encrypted with [secret key]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#secret_key" >}}) from the Grafana config. The purpose of this is only to hide content from the users of the application. This should be used for storing TLS Cert and password that Grafana will append to the request on the server side. All of these settings are optional.
> **Note:** Datasources tagged with _HTTP\*_ below denotes any data source which communicates using the HTTP protocol, e.g. all core data source plugins except MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL.
| Name | Type | Datasource | Description |
| ----------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| tlsCACert | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL | CA cert for out going requests |
| tlsClientCert | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL | TLS Client cert for outgoing requests |
| tlsClientKey | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL | TLS Client key for outgoing requests |
| password | string | _HTTP\*_, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL | password |
| basicAuthPassword | string | _HTTP\*_ | password for basic authentication |
| accessKey | string | Cloudwatch | Access key for connecting to Cloudwatch |
| secretKey | string | Cloudwatch | Secret key for connecting to Cloudwatch |
| sigV4AccessKey | string | Elasticsearch and Prometheus | SigV4 access key. Required when using keys auth provider |
| sigV4SecretKey | string | Elasticsearch and Prometheus | SigV4 secret key. Required when using keys auth provider |
#### Custom HTTP headers for datasources
Data sources managed by Grafanas provisioning can be configured to add HTTP headers to all requests
going to that datasource. The header name is configured in the `jsonData` field and the header value should be
configured in `secureJsonData`.
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Graphite
jsonData:
httpHeaderName1: 'HeaderName'
httpHeaderName2: 'Authorization'
secureJsonData:
httpHeaderValue1: 'HeaderValue'
httpHeaderValue2: 'Bearer XXXXXXXXX'
```
## Plugins
> This feature is available from v7.1
You can manage plugin applications in Grafana by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/plugins`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#provisioning" >}}) directory. Each config file can contain a list of `apps` that will be updated during start up. Grafana updates each app to match the configuration file.
> **Note:** This feature enables you to provision plugin configurations, not the plugins themselves.
> The plugins must already be installed on the grafana instance
### Example plugin configuration file
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
apps:
# <string> the type of app, plugin identifier. Required
- type: raintank-worldping-app
# <int> Org ID. Default to 1, unless org_name is specified
org_id: 1
# <string> Org name. Overrides org_id unless org_id not specified
org_name: Main Org.
# <bool> disable the app. Default to false.
disabled: false
# <map> fields that will be converted to json and stored in jsonData. Custom per app.
jsonData:
# key/value pairs of string to object
key: value
# <map> fields that will be converted to json, encrypted and stored in secureJsonData. Custom per app.
secureJsonData:
# key/value pairs of string to string
key: value
```
## Dashboards
You can manage dashboards in Grafana by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/dashboards`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/" >}}) directory. Each config file can contain a list of `dashboards providers` that load dashboards into Grafana from the local filesystem.
The dashboard provider config file looks somewhat like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
providers:
# <string> an unique provider name. Required
- name: 'a unique provider name'
# <int> Org id. Default to 1
orgId: 1
# <string> name of the dashboard folder.
folder: ''
# <string> folder UID. will be automatically generated if not specified
folderUid: ''
# <string> provider type. Default to 'file'
type: file
# <bool> disable dashboard deletion
disableDeletion: false
# <int> how often Grafana will scan for changed dashboards
updateIntervalSeconds: 10
# <bool> allow updating provisioned dashboards from the UI
allowUiUpdates: false
options:
# <string, required> path to dashboard files on disk. Required when using the 'file' type
path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards
# <bool> use folder names from filesystem to create folders in Grafana
foldersFromFilesStructure: true
```
When Grafana starts, it will update/insert all dashboards available in the configured path. Then later on poll that path every **updateIntervalSeconds** and look for updated json files and update/insert those into the database.
> **Note:** Dashboards are provisioned to the General folder if the `folder` option is missing or empty.
#### Making changes to a provisioned dashboard
It's possible to make changes to a provisioned dashboard in the Grafana UI. However, it is not possible to automatically save the changes back to the provisioning source.
If `allowUiUpdates` is set to `true` and you make changes to a provisioned dashboard, you can `Save` the dashboard then changes will be persisted to the Grafana database.
> **Note:**
> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and then later updated from the source, the dashboard stored in the database will always be overwritten. The `version` property in the JSON file will not affect this, even if it is lower than the existing dashboard.
>
> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and the source is removed, the dashboard stored in the database will be deleted unless the configuration option `disableDeletion` is set to true.
If `allowUiUpdates` is configured to `false`, you are not able to make changes to a provisioned dashboard. When you click `Save`, Grafana brings up a _Cannot save provisioned dashboard_ dialog. The screenshot below illustrates this behavior.
Grafana offers options to export the JSON definition of a dashboard. Either `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` can help you synchronize your dashboard changes back to the provisioning source.
Note: The JSON definition in the input field when using `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` will have the `id` field automatically removed to aid the provisioning workflow.
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v51/provisioning_cannot_save_dashboard.png" max-width="500px" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
### Reusable Dashboard URLs
If the dashboard in the JSON file contains an [UID]({{< relref "../../dashboards/json-model/" >}}), Grafana forces insert/update on that UID. This allows you to migrate dashboards between Grafana instances and provisioning Grafana from configuration without breaking the URLs given because the new dashboard URL uses the UID as identifier.
When Grafana starts, it updates/inserts all dashboards available in the configured folders. If you modify the file, then the dashboard is also updated.
By default, Grafana deletes dashboards in the database if the file is removed. You can disable this behavior using the `disableDeletion` setting.
> **Note:** Provisioning allows you to overwrite existing dashboards
> which leads to problems if you re-use settings that are supposed to be unique.
> Be careful not to re-use the same `title` multiple times within a folder
> or `uid` within the same installation as this will cause weird behaviors.
### Provision folders structure from filesystem to Grafana
If you already store your dashboards using folders in a git repo or on a filesystem, and also you want to have the same folder names in the Grafana menu, you can use `foldersFromFilesStructure` option.
For example, to replicate these dashboards structure from the filesystem to Grafana,
```
/etc/dashboards
├── /server
│ ├── /common_dashboard.json
│ └── /network_dashboard.json
└── /application
├── /requests_dashboard.json
└── /resources_dashboard.json
```
you need to specify just this short provision configuration file.
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
providers:
- name: dashboards
type: file
updateIntervalSeconds: 30
options:
path: /etc/dashboards
foldersFromFilesStructure: true
```
`server` and `application` will become new folders in Grafana menu.
> **Note:** `folder` and `folderUid` options should be empty or missing to make `foldersFromFilesStructure` work.
> **Note:** To provision dashboards to the General folder, store them in the root of your `path`.
## Alerting
You can manage alert objects in Grafana by adding one or more YAML or JSON
configuration files in the [`provisioning/alerting`]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/" >}})
directory. Those files will be applied when starting Grafana. When Grafana
is running, it's possible to do a hot reload using the
[Admin API]({{< relref "../../developers/http_api/admin/#reload-provisioning-configurations" >}}).

# <int> organization ID, default = 1
- orgId: 1
# <string> name of the contact point that should be used for this route
receiver: grafana-default-email
# <list> The labels by which incoming alerts are grouped together. For example,
# multiple alerts coming in for cluster=A and alertname=LatencyHigh would
# be batched into a single group.
#
# To aggregate by all possible labels use the special value '...' as
# the sole label name, for example:
# group_by: ['...']
# This effectively disables aggregation entirely, passing through all
# alerts as-is. This is unlikely to be what you want, unless you have
# a very low alert volume or your upstream notification system performs
# its own grouping.
group_by: ['...']
# <list> a list of matchers that an alert has to fulfill to match the node
matchers:
- alertname = Watchdog
- severity =~ "warning|critical"
# <list> Times when the route should be muted. These must match the name of a
# mute time interval.
# Additionally, the root node cannot have any mute times.
# When a route is muted it will not send any notifications, but
# otherwise acts normally (including ending the route-matching process
# if the `continue` option is not set)
mute_time_intervals:
- abc
# <duration> How long to initially wait to send a notification for a group
# of alerts. Allows to collect more initial alerts for the same group.
# (Usually ~0s to few minutes), default = 30s
group_wait: 30s
# <duration> How long to wait before sending a notification about new alerts that
# are added to a group of alerts for which an initial notification has
# already been sent. (Usually ~5m or more), default = 5m
group_internval: 5m
# <duration> How long to wait before sending a notification again if it has already
# been sent successfully for an alert. (Usually ~3h or more), default = 4h
repeat_interval: 4h
# <list> Zero or more child routes
# routes:

## Alert Notification Channels
> **Note:** Alert Notification Channels are part of legacy alerting, which is deprecated and will be removed in Grafana 10. Use Contact Points in the alerting section above.
Alert Notification Channels can be provisioned by adding one or more YAML config files in the [`provisioning/notifiers`](/administration/configuration/#provisioning) directory.
Each config file can contain the following top-level fields:
- `notifiers`, a list of alert notifications that will be added or updated during start up. If the notification channel already exists, Grafana will update it to match the configuration file.
- `delete_notifiers`, a list of alert notifications to be deleted before inserting/updating those in the `notifiers` list.
Provisioning looks up alert notifications by uid, and will update any existing notification with the provided uid.
By default, exporting a dashboard as JSON will use a sequential identifier to refer to alert notifications. The field `uid` can be optionally specified to specify a string identifier for the alert name.
```json
{
...
"alert": {
...,
"conditions": [...],
"frequency": "24h",
"noDataState": "ok",
"notifications": [
{"uid": "notifier1"},
{"uid": "notifier2"},
]
}
...
}
```
### Example Alert Notification Channels Config File
```yaml
notifiers:
- name: notification-channel-1
type: slack
uid: notifier1
# either
org_id: 2
# or
org_name: Main Org.
is_default: true
send_reminder: true
frequency: 1h
disable_resolve_message: false
# See `Supported Settings` section for settings supported for each
# alert notification type.
settings:
recipient: 'XXX'
uploadImage: true
token: 'xoxb' # legacy setting since Grafana v7.2 (stored non-encrypted)
url: https://slack.com # legacy setting since Grafana v7.2 (stored non-encrypted)
# Secure settings that will be encrypted in the database (supported since Grafana v7.2). See `Supported Settings` section for secure settings supported for each notifier.
secure_settings:

# or
org_name: Main Org.
- name: notification-channel-2
# default org_id: 1
```
### Supported Settings
The following sections detail the supported settings and secure settings for each alert notification type. Secure settings are stored encrypted in the database and you add them to `secure_settings` in the YAML file instead of `settings`.
> **Note:** Secure settings is supported since Grafana v7.2.
