Grafana

Grafana is an open source platform for monitoring and observability.

Grafana addon can be deployed with EKS blueprints in Amazon EKS server. This add-on configures Prometheus and CloudWatch data sources. You can add more data sources using the values.yaml

Usage

Grafana can be deployed by enabling the add-on via the following. This example shows the usage of the Secrets Manager to create a new secret for Grafana adminPassword.

This option sets a default adminPassword by the helm chart which can be extracted from kubernetes secrets with the name as grafana.

enable_grafana = true

You can optionally customize the Helm chart that deploys Grafana via the following configuration. Also, provide the adminPassword using set_sensitive values as shown in the example

  enable_grafana = true
  grafana_irsa_policies = [] # Optional to add additional policies to IRSA

# Optional grafana_helm_config
  grafana_helm_config = {
    name        = "grafana"
    chart       = "grafana"
    repository  = "https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts"
    version     = "6.32.1"
    namespace   = "grafana"
    description = "Grafana Helm Chart deployment configuration"
    values = [templatefile("${path.module}/values.yaml", {})]
    set_sensitive = [
      {
        name  = "adminPassword"
        value = "<YOUR_SECURE_PASSWORD_FOR_GRAFANA_ADMIN>"
      }
    ]
  }
