Grafana is an open source, feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor for Graphite, Elasticsearch, OpenTSDB, Prometheus and InfluxDB.
Installation
Head to docs.grafana.org for documentation or download to get the latest release.
Documentation & Support
Be sure to read the getting started guide and the other feature guides.
Run from master
If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find the latest master builds here
Dependencies
- Go (Latest Stable)
- bra [
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
]
- bra [
- Node.js LTS
- yarn [
npm install -g yarn
]
- yarn [
Get the project
The project located in the go-path will be your working directory.
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
Building
The backend
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build
Frontend assets
For this you need Node.js (LTS version).
yarn install --pure-lockfile
Run and rebuild on source change
Backend
To run the backend and rebuild on source change:
$GOPATH/bin/bra run
Frontend
Rebuild on file change, and serve them by Grafana's webserver (http://localhost:3000):
yarn start
Build the assets, rebuild on file change with Hot Module Replacement (HMR), and serve them by webpack-dev-server (http://localhost:3333):
yarn start:hot
# OR set a theme
env GRAFANA_THEME=light yarn start:hot
Note: HMR for Angular is not supported. If you edit files in the Angular part of the app, the whole page will reload.
Run tests and rebuild on source change:
yarn jest
Open grafana in your browser (default: e.g. http://localhost:3000
) and login with admin user (default: user/pass = admin/admin
).
Building a Docker image
There are two different ways to build a Grafana docker image. If your machine is setup for Grafana development and you run linux/amd64 you can build just the image. Otherwise, there is the option to build Grafana completely within Docker.
Run the image you have built using: docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana:dev
Building on linux/amd64 (fast)
- Build the frontend
go run build.go build-frontend
- Build the docker image
make build-docker-dev
The resulting image will be tagged as grafana/grafana:dev
Building anywhere (slower)
Choose this option to build on platforms other than linux/amd64 and/or not have to setup the Grafana development environment.
make build-docker-full
ordocker build -t grafana/grafana:dev .
The resulting image will be tagged as grafana/grafana:dev
Notice: If you are using Docker for MacOS, be sure to set the memory limit to be larger than 2 GiB (at docker -> Preferences -> Advanced), otherwise grunt build
may fail.
Development
Dev config
Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options. You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
- grafana.ini
- custom.ini
In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading ;
) sign. And set app_mode = development
.
Running tests
Frontend
Execute all frontend tests
yarn test
Writing & watching frontend tests
- Start watcher:
yarn jest
- Jest will run all test files that end with the name ".test.ts"
Backend
# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using mysql as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/mysql_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using postgres as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/postgres_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/...
Datasource and dashboard provisioning
Here you can find helpful scripts and docker-compose setup that will populate your dev environment for quicker testing end experimenting.
