*****
Setup
*****

Install ``grafana-wtf``
=======================
::

pipx install grafana-wtf

Configure Grafana
=================
Please take these steps to create an API key with your Grafana instance:

- Go to ``https://daq.example.org/grafana/org/apikeys``.

- Choose "New API Key".

- Key name: grafana-wtf
- Role: Admin

- From the output ``curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiWHg...dGJpZCI6MX0=" ...``,
please take note of the Bearer token. This is your Grafana API key.

*************
Configuration
*************

Grafana connection
==================

To configure to which Grafana instance to connect to, and how to authenticate, use
the ``--grafana-url`` and ``--grafana-token`` command line options.

Alternatively, before running ``grafana-wtf``, you can define URL and access token
of your Grafana instance by using environment variables::

export GRAFANA_URL=https://daq.example.org/grafana/
export GRAFANA_TOKEN=eyJrIjoiWHg...dGJpZCI6MX0=

In order to accept untrusted SSL certificates, append the ``?verify=no`` query string
to the ``GRAFANA_URL``::

export GRAFANA_URL=https://daq.example.org/grafana/?verify=no

Caching
=======

``grafana-wtf`` will cache HTTP responses for 60 minutes by default, in order to save
resources, by not hitting the server each server. You can configure that setting by using
the ``--cache-ttl`` option, or the ``CACHE_TTL`` environment variable.

When invoking the program with the ``--drop-cache`` option, it will drop its cache upfront.

*****
Usage
*****

General information
===================

::

# Display a bunch of meta information and statistics.
grafana-wtf info --format=yaml

# Display Grafana version.
grafana-wtf info --format=json | jq -r '.grafana.version'

Explore data sources
====================

How to find unused data sources?
::

# Display all data sources and the dashboards using them, as well as unused data sources.
grafana-wtf explore datasources --format=yaml

# Display names of unused datasources as a flat list.
grafana-wtf explore datasources --format=json | jq -r '.unused[].datasource.name'

Explore dashboards
==================

How to find dashboards which use non-existing data sources?
::

# Display some details of all dashboards, including names of missing data sources.
grafana-wtf explore dashboards --format=yaml

# Display only dashboards which have missing data sources, along with their names.
grafana-wtf explore dashboards --format=json | \
jq '.[] | select(.datasources_missing) | .dashboard + {ds_missing: .datasources_missing[] | [.name]}'

How to find dashboards using specific data sources?
::

# Display all dashboards which use a specific data source, filtered by data source name.
grafana-wtf explore dashboards --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.datasources | .[].type=="")'

# Display all dashboards using data sources with a specific type. Here: InfluxDB.
grafana-wtf explore dashboards --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.datasources | .[].type=="influxdb")'

How to list all queries used in all dashboards?
::

grafana-wtf explore dashboards --data-details --queries-only --format=json | \
jq '.[].details | values[] | .[] | .expr,.jql,.query,.rawSql | select( . != null and . != "" )'

Searching for strings
=====================

Find the string ``weatherbase`` throughout all dashboards and data sources::

grafana-wtf find weatherbase

Replacing strings
=================

Replace all occurrences of ``ldi_v2`` with ``ldi_v3`` within dashboard with
UID ``_JJ22OZZk``::

grafana-wtf --select-dashboard=_JJ22OZZk replace ldi_v2 ldi_v3

In order to preview the changes, you should use the ``--dry-run`` option
beforehand::

grafana-wtf --select-dashboard=_JJ22OZZk replace ldi_v2 ldi_v3 --dry-run

Display edit history
