# Grabana

Grabana provides a developer-friendly way of creating Grafana dashboards.
Whether you prefer writing **code or YAML**, if you are looking for a way to
version your dashboards configuration or automate tedious and error-prone
creation of dashboards, this library is meant for you.
## Design goals
* provide an understandable abstraction over dashboards configuration
* expose a **developer-friendly API**
* allow IDE assistance and **auto-completion**
* **generate Go code** from existing dashboards
**Note**: Grafana 8+ is required, with [unified alerting](https://grafana.com/blog/2021/06/14/the-new-unified-alerting-system-for-grafana-everything-you-need-to-know/) enabled.

## Dashboard as code
Dashboard configuration:
```go
builder := dashboard.New(
"Awesome dashboard",
dashboard.AutoRefresh("5s"),
dashboard.Tags([]string{"generated"}),
dashboard.VariableAsInterval(
"interval",
interval.Values([]string{"30s", "1m", "5m", "10m", "30m", "1h", "6h", "12h"}),
),
dashboard.Row(
"Prometheus",
row.WithGraph(
"HTTP Rate",
graph.DataSource("prometheus-default"),
graph.WithPrometheusTarget(
"rate(prometheus_http_requests_total[30s])",
prometheus.Legend("{{handler}} - {{ code }}"),
),
),
),
)
```
> **Note**
> Existing dashboards can be converted to Go code using the `grabana convert-go` CLI command.
Dashboard creation:
```go
ctx := context.Background()
client := grabana.NewClient(&http.Client{}, grafanaHost, grabana.WithAPIToken("such secret, much wow"))
// create the folder holding the dashboard for the service
folder, err := client.FindOrCreateFolder(ctx, "Test Folder")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Could not find or create folder: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
if _, err := client.UpsertDashboard(ctx, folder, builder); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Could not create dashboard: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
```
For a more complete example, see the [`example`](cmd/builder-example/) directory.
## Dashboard as YAML
Dashboard configuration:
```yaml
# dashboard.yaml
title: Awesome dashboard
editable: true
tags: [generated]
auto_refresh: 5s
variables:
- interval:
name: interval
label: Interval
values: ["30s", "1m", "5m", "10m", "30m", "1h", "6h", "12h"]
rows:
- name: Prometheus
panels:
- graph:
title: HTTP Rate
height: 400px
datasource: prometheus-default
targets:
- prometheus:
query: "rate(promhttp_metric_handler_requests_total[$interval])"
legend: "{{handler}} - {{ code }}"
```
Dashboard creation (or [automatically as a Kubernetes Resource, using DARK](https://github.com/K-Phoen/dark)):
```go
content, err := os.ReadFile("dashboard.yaml")
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Could not read file: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
dashboard, err := decoder.UnmarshalYAML(bytes.NewBuffer(content))
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Could not parse file: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
ctx := context.Background()
client := grabana.NewClient(&http.Client{}, grafanaHost, grabana.WithAPIToken("such secret, much wow"))
// create the folder holding the dashboard for the service
folder, err := client.FindOrCreateFolder(ctx, "Test Folder")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Could not find or create folder: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
if _, err := client.UpsertDashboard(ctx, folder, dashboard); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Could not create dashboard: %s\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
```
