Grafana for MOOVIS Docker image

This project builds a Docker image with the latest build of Grafana for MOOVIS. This project is a fork of grafana/grafana-docker.

Running your Grafana container

Start your container binding the external port 3000.

docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 gladdiologist/grafana

Try it out, default admin user is admin/admin.

In case port 3000 is closed for external clients or you there is no access to the browser - you may test it by issuing: curl -i localhost:3000/login Make sure that you are getting "...200 OK" in response. After that continue testing by modifying your client request to grafana.

Configuring your Grafana container

All options defined in conf/grafana.ini can be overriden using environment variables by using the syntax GF_<SectionName>_<KeyName>. For example:

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  -e "GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://grafana.server.name" \
  -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret" \
  gladdiologist/grafana

You can use your own grafana.ini file by using environment variable GF_PATHS_CONFIG.

More information in the grafana configuration documentation: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/

Grafana container with persistent storage (recommended)

# create /var/lib/grafana as persistent volume storage
docker run -d -v /var/lib/grafana --name grafana-storage busybox:latest

# start grafana
docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  --volumes-from grafana-storage \
  gladdiologist/grafana

Installing plugins for Grafana 3

Pass the plugins you want installed to docker with the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS environment variable as a comma seperated list. This will pass each plugin name to grafana-cli plugins install ${plugin}.

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  -e "GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-clock-panel,grafana-simple-json-datasource" \
  gladdiologist/grafana

Configuring AWS credentials for CloudWatch support

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  -e "GF_AWS_PROFILES=default" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_REGION=us-east-1" \
  gladdiologist/grafana
