# DARK



[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/K-Phoen/dark/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/K-Phoen/dark)



**D**ashboards **A**s **R**esources in **K**ubernetes.



DARK provides a way to define and deploy Grafana dashboards via Kubernetes, next to the services they monitor.



If you are looking for a way to version your dashboards and deploy them across all environments, like you would do

with your services, then this project is meant for you.



In addition to dashboards, DARK can also manage:



* [data sources](./docs/index.md#data-sources)

* [API keys](./docs/usage/creating-api-keys.md)

* [alert manager configuration](./docs/index.md#alerting-configuration) (alert routing, notification policies, ...)



## Design goals



* full description of dashboards via YAML

* integration with `kubectl`

* seamless integration with Grafana

* delegate YAML decoding and dashboard generation to [Grabana](https://github.com/K-Phoen/grabana)



## Non-goals



* creation and operation of Grafana instances themselves. For that, check out [`grafana-operator/grafana-operator`](https://github.com/grafana-operator/grafana-operator)

## Example dashboard



```yaml

apiVersion: k8s.kevingomez.fr/v1

kind: GrafanaDashboard

metadata:

  name: example-dashboard

  namespace: monitoring

  annotations:

    dark/folder: "Awesome folder"

spec:

  title: Awesome dashboard

  shared_crosshair: true

  tags: [generated, yaml]

  auto_refresh: 10s



  variables:

    - interval:

        name: interval

        label: interval

        default: 1m

        values: [30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m, 1h, 6h, 12h]



  rows:

    - name: Prometheus

      panels:

        - timeseries:

            title: HTTP Rate

            datasource: prometheus-default

            targets:

              - prometheus:

                  query: "rate(promhttp_metric_handler_requests_total[$interval])"

                  legend: "{{ handler }} - {{ code }}"



        - graph:

            title: Heap allocations

            datasource: prometheus-default

            targets:

              - prometheus:

                  query: "go_memstats_heap_alloc_bytes"

                  legend: "{{ job }}"

```
