Grafana Dashboard - Silent Installation Windows

Grafana Installation
1

I am trying to install Grafana Dashboard v11.0.0 on a Windows 11 Machine. I have the MSI file and I want to perform a silent install.

I need guidelines on performing a silent installation. I want to have the default configs when installing and want to specify the install path say “D:\Grafana\some\path”.

Most importantly, I do not want the UI to prompt me to enter information.

welcome to forum @patrickambrosso

What are you trying to solve by this method?

I want to automate the setting up of Grafana on a Server using a bat file or a powershell script. Post installation, I can configure the Dashboards.

May be it would be easier to use Standalone Windows Binaries of Grafana. They can be unpacked in any directory and that’s it, Grafana is installed with default settings.

If you need to run Grafana as service, it is possible to integrate NSSM commands into a bat file or a powershell script.

i would recommemd maybe

  1. terraform
  2. powershell or python to dowload and extract zip file and install instead of msi
  3. docker

fyi about nssm

grafana-server.exe does not seem to have Windows Service support embedded in it. When you use nssm it just running the exe as a fake service not as a true windows service

etc
