Grafana Datasource Creation

This repository contains a Python script that reads a JSON file and makes API calls to create datasources in Grafana. The script is designed to handle datasources one by one, with a delay between each API call to avoid overwhelming Grafana.

Before running the script, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Python 3.8 or later
• Pip package manager

   git clone https://github.com/GPegel/grafana-datasource-creation.git
   

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd grafana-datasource-creation
   

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Usage

1. Edit the data.json file and add your desired datasources in the JSON format.

2. Set the necessary environment variables:

3. GRAFANA_TOKEN: Your Grafana authentication token.

4. GRAFANA_DATASOURCE_URL: The URL of your Grafana datasource endpoint.
