Grafana Setup

Grafana Setup

If this deployment cannot edit agent configuration, stop and ask the administrator to configure it server-side.

agent.yml

agent:
  plugins:
    grafana:
      prod:
        default: true
        api_base_url: https://grafana.example.com
        auth_mode: token
        token: ${GRAFANA_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN}
        # auth_mode: basic
        # username: analyst
        # password: ${GRAFANA_PASSWORD}
        org_id: "1"                    # optional
        api_mode: auto                 # auto, new, or legacy
        namespace: default
        verify_ssl: "true"
        timeout: "30"
        default_datasource_uid: metrics-prod  # optional
        serving_datasource: warehouse_prod   # optional
        serving_database_name: analytics     # optional

Ask for the endpoint, auth mode, optional organization, and the environment-variable name holding the token/password. Have the user export it and write only ${VAR}, never a literal secret. Prefer a least-privilege service-account token. Verify with datus grafana status health and datus grafana status whoami.
