Ansible Collection for Grafana

Grafana Ansible Collection GitHub tag GitHub Last Commit GitHub Contributors

This collection (grafana.grafana) contains modules and roles to assist in automating the management of resources in Grafana, Grafana Agent, and OpenTelemetry Collector with Ansible.

Ansible version compatibility

The collection is tested and supported with: ansible >= 2.9

Installing the collection

Before using the Grafana collection, you need to install it using the below command:

ansible-galaxy collection install grafana.grafana

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: grafana.grafana

A specific version of the collection can be installed by using the version keyword in the requirements.yml file:

---
collections:
  - name: grafana.grafana
    version: 1.0.0

Roles included in the collection

This collection includes the following roles to help set up and manage Grafana, Grafana Agent, and OpenTelemetry Collector:

  • Grafana: Installs and configures Grafana on your target hosts.
  • Grafana Agent: Deploys and configures Grafana Agent, allowing for efficient metrics, logs, and trace data shipping to Grafana Cloud or other endpoints.
  • OpenTelemetry Collector: Sets up and configures the OpenTelemetry Collector, enabling advanced observability features through data collection and transmission.

Using this collection

You can call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as grafana.grafana.cloud_stack:

- name: Using grafana collection
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Create a Grafana Cloud stack
      grafana.grafana.cloud_stack:
        name: mystack
        stack_slug: mystack
        org_slug: myorg
        cloud_api_key: "{{ cloud_api_key }}"
        region: eu
        state: present

or you can add full namespace and collection name in the collections element in your playbook

- name: Using grafana collection
  hosts: localhost
  collection:
    - grafana.grafana
  tasks:
    - name: Create a Grafana Cloud stack
      cloud_stack:
        name: mystack
        stack_slug: mystack
        org_slug: myorg
        cloud_api_key: "{{ cloud_api_key }}"
        region: eu
        state: present

Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation

This collection follows Semantic Versioning. More details on versioning can be found in the Ansible docs.

We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.

Releasing the current major version on GitHub happens from the main branch by the GitHub Release Workflow. Before the GitHub Release Workflow is run, Contributors should push the new version on Ansible Galaxy Manually.
