Hi there 👋

grafana-sidecar-folder-sample's Issues

dashboards not being assigned to folders

hi,
thanks for the guide,
I still have a problem maybe you will know how to fix

I add the config like you wrote

          dashboardProviders:
            dashboardproviders.yaml:
              apiVersion: 1
              providers:
              - name: "Inventory Summary"
                orgId: 1
                folder: "edge"
                type: file
                disableDeletion: false
                editable: false
                options:
                  path: /tmp/dashboards/inventory

and add the anotatin to the cm

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: inventory-dashboards
  labels:
    grafana_dashboard: "1"
  annotations:
    k8s-sidecar-target-directory: "/tmp/dashboards/inventory"
data:
{{ (.Files.Glob "custom-dashboards/inventory/*.json" ).AsConfig | indent 2 }}

and the logs seem right

Working on configmap staging/inventory-dashboards
Found a folder override annotation, placing the inventory-dashboards in: /tmp/dashboards/inventory
File in configmap Inventory_Summary.json ADDED

but when I go to the UI I see only empty folders (except the general)

what can it be that I am missing?

Error ```insufficient privileges``` when using configmap

Hi

I tried it this way, but I'm struggling a bit.

This is my config map:
https://github.com/tuxpeople/k8s-homelab/blob/master/cluster/apps/media/plex-exporter/grafana-dashboard.yaml

And this my Grafana deployment:
https://github.com/tuxpeople/k8s-homelab/blob/master/cluster/apps/monitoring/grafana/helm-release.yaml

I'm ending up with this error, saying me that grafana has not sufficient permissions on a folder Grafana created itself:

$ kubectl logs -n monitoring grafana-c6df564f9-ks4mr -c grafana-sc-dashboard
