# GLPI to Grafana exporter

This script exports GLPI statistics from database into JSON format, usable with [grafana-infinity-datasource](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource) plugin of [Grafana](https://grafana.com/). Tested on GLPI version 10.0.6.

## Install

~~~

pipx install glpi-grafana-exporter[mysql]

~~~

(or postgresql)

On debian you may need to install:

~~~

apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libmariadb-dev python3-dev

~~~

Example config (`config.env`):

~~~

DBURL=mysql:///support

TICKETS_TABLE=glpi_tickets

USERS_TABLE=glpi_users

JSONFILE=/var/www/html/statistics/glpi.json

OPEN=25

~~~

DBURL is in SQLAlchemy format: `dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database`, e.g.:

~~~

postgresql+psycopg2://user:password@localhost:5432/mydatabase

mysql://user:password@localhost:3306/mydatabase

~~~

(you can omit `+driver` part)

## Make JSON file 

~~~

# make glpi.json with statistics for last year

glpi-grafana-exporter -c config.env --hard 365

# recalculate statistics for a last 3 days (for [daily] cron job)

glpi-grafana-exporter -c config.env --hard 3

~~~

at this step you get glpi.json file for Grafana with Infinity Datasource plugin. Update it from cron job.

## Make grafana dashboard

1. Install [Grafana Infinity Datasource

](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource/) plugin

2. Configure it (Connection > Data Sources > yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource > Security), to allow "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/" (for demo JSON) or your URL. Save & test.

3. use [demo/dashboard.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yaroslaff/glpi-grafana-exporter/refs/heads/master/demo/dashboard.json) to create dashboard in Grafana (or Grafana Cloud). 

4. Set `DatasourceID` variable (at top of dashboard) to your infinity datasource ID (See URL at Connections > Data sources > yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource).

5. At this step you should see demo data from github repository. You can change URL to your `glpi.json` location. Do not forget to allow it in datasource "Security" tab as on step 2.
