1. Configuring Grafana data sources programmatically with token

    TypeScript

    To configure a Grafana data source programmatically, you can use the Pulumi Grafana provider, which allows you to create, update, and manage Grafana resources declaratively. In this scenario, we'll create a new Grafana data source, using an API key (token) for authentication.

    Before proceeding with the Pulumi program, you need to ensure that you have the Grafana provider installed in your Pulumi setup. You also need to have a Grafana instance where you can create the data source and an API token with the necessary permissions to configure data sources.

    Within the Pulumi program, you will first instantiate a Grafana DataSource resource. You will pass the properties necessary to set up the data source, like name, type, url, and secureJsonData, which contains the API token for authentication.

    Here's how you could set up a Grafana data source programmatically with Pulumi in TypeScript:

    import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as grafana from '@pulumi/grafana'; // Ensure you have the necessary Grafana API token ready const grafanaApiToken = 'your_grafana_api_token_here'; // Replace with your Grafana API token // Create a Grafana Data Source const myDataSource = new grafana.DataSource('my-data-source', { // Specify the type of data source, for example, Prometheus, Graphite, Loki, etc. type: 'prometheus', // Replace with the type of your data source // The name for the data source which will be visible in the Grafana UI name: 'my-prometheus-data-source', // The URL to the backend of the data source url: 'http://your-prometheus-instance', // Replace with the URL of your Prometheus instance // Optionally, if you are using an API token for authentication, provide it here secureJsonData: { httpHeaderValue1: `Bearer ${grafanaApiToken}`, }, // Configure the datasource to use the provided API token for authorization jsonData: { httpHeaderName1: 'Authorization', }, }); // Export the ID of the data source export const dataSourceId = myDataSource.id;

    Explanation of the code:

    • First, we import the necessary modules from Pulumi, which will be used to interact with Grafana.
    • Next, we create a new grafana.DataSource resource called my-data-source.
    • In the resource definition, we specify the type of data source we want to create (type), the friendly name that will appear in the Grafana UI (name), and the URL of the backend for the data source (url).
    • The secureJsonData attribute is used for sensitive information such as API tokens for authentication, which should not be checked into source control. The Pulumi service automatically encrypts this data at rest.
    • The jsonData attribute is used for non-sensitive configuration parameters like the name of the HTTP header that will carry the API token for authentication.

    This Pulumi program illustrates how you can use infrastructure as code to manage your Grafana setup, including data sources, using Pulumi's Grafana provider. To run this program, you must have the Pulumi CLI installed and configured with the necessary cloud credentials. Additionally, make sure to replace placeholders like your_grafana_api_token_here and URLs with actual values from your environment.

    Once the code is executed using Pulumi, a new Grafana data source will be created, and you can check the Grafana UI to see it reflected there.
