How to provision dashboards for different orgs

how to provision dashboards for different orgs

Provisioning dashboards for different organizations in Grafana involves setting up separate configurations for each organization. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

  1. Understand Organizations in Grafana:
  2. Organizations in Grafana provide a way to isolate users and resources such as dashboards, data sources, and alerts. Each organization operates independently within a single Grafana instance.

  3. Set Up Your Provisioning Directory:

  4. Ensure you have a provisioning directory set up. By default, this is located in the provisioning directory within your Grafana configuration directory. You can change this path by setting the paths.provisioning property in your Grafana configuration file.

  5. Create Dashboard Provisioning Files:

  6. For each organization, create a YAML configuration file in the provisioning/dashboards directory. Each file should specify the organization ID (orgId) and the path to the dashboard JSON files.

Example YAML configuration: ```yaml apiVersion: 1

providers: - name: 'Org1 Dashboards' orgId: 1 type: file updateIntervalSeconds: 10 options: path: /path/to/org1/dashboards - name: 'Org2 Dashboards' orgId: 2 type: file updateIntervalSeconds: 10 options: path: /path/to/org2/dashboards ```

  1. Organize Dashboard Files:
  2. Place the JSON files for each organization's dashboards in the specified paths. Ensure that the directory structure and file names are correctly referenced in your YAML configuration.

  3. Restart Grafana:

  4. After setting up the provisioning files, restart your Grafana instance to apply the changes. Grafana will automatically load and update the dashboards for each organization based on the configuration.

  5. Manage Access and Permissions:

  6. Ensure that users are assigned to the correct organizations and have the necessary permissions to view and manage the dashboards.

  7. Considerations for Updates:

  8. If you need to update dashboards, modify the JSON files in the specified paths. Grafana will periodically check for changes based on the updateIntervalSeconds setting and update the dashboards accordingly.

By following these steps, you can effectively provision and manage dashboards for different organizations within a single Grafana instance. If you have further questions or need more detailed assistance, feel free to ask!
