Grafana Sync

Syncs dashboards between Grafana instances. Lifts the burden of migrating changes between environment instances by hand. Unleashes the power of Linux command-line tools on Grafana config files.

Tested against Grafana 6.

Installation and Usage

Suggested workflow is:

• for each separately deployed project create a repo based off of a sample_repo and head to it cp sample_repo ../mars_shuttle cd ../mars_shuttle
• install GrafanaSync locally (with e.g. asdf) asdf install gem install bundler -v 2.2.16 bundle or globally gem install grafana_sync
• adjust config.rb to suit your needs. For each environment there has to be specified Grafana URL and Grafana folder. One environment (say "staging") is tweaked manually through Grafana web-interface, optionally stored in a VCS and then deployed to other environments (say "production").
• tweak manually staging Grafana through web-interface to fit your needs
• fetch staging Grafana configs grafync staging pull
• optionally review changes and commit
• see what are the changes to be applied to production grafync production diff same with paging grafync production diff | less -R
• apply Grafana configs to production grafync production push
