Using groundcover datasources in a Self-hosted Grafana

Exposing Data Sources for Managed inCloud Setup

Last updated 6 months ago

groundcover supports integration with customer owned Grafana by exposing and data sources.

Different steps are required for deployments, contact us for additional info.

Requirements

Datasources api-key

The groundcover tenant API KEY is required for configuring the data source connection.

The key can be obtained by running: groundcover auth get-datasources-api-key

For this example we will use the key API-KEY-VALUE

Setup

Prometheus

Configure Grafana prometheus Data Source by following these steps logged in as Grafana Admin.

  1. Connections > Data Sources > + Add new data source

  2. Pick Prometheus

    1. Name: groundcover-prometheus

    2. Prometheus server URL: https://ds.groundcover.com/datasources/prometheus

    3. Customer HTTP Headers > Add Header

      1. Header: apikey

      2. Value: API-KEY-VALUE

    4. Performance

      1. Prometheus type: Prometheus

      2. Prometheus version: > 2.50.x

  3. Click "Save & test"

"Successfully queried the Prometheus API" means the integration was configured correctly.

ClickHouse

Configure Grafana ClickHouse Data Source by following these steps logged in as Grafana Admin.

  1. Connections > Data Sources > + Add new data source

  2. Pick ClickHouse

    1. Name: groundcover-clickhouse

    2. Server

      1. Server address: ds.groundcover.com

      2. Server port: 443

      3. Protocol: HTTP

      4. Secure Connection: ON

    3. HTTP Headers

      1. Forward Grafana HTTP Headers: ON

    4. Credentials

      1. Username: Leave empty

      2. Password: API-KEY-VALUE

    5. Additional Properties

      1. Default database: groundcover

  3. Click "Save & test"

"Data source is working" means the integration was configured correctly.
