Give Grafana access to community representative#
Note
This is only available when the community’s hub is running on a dedicated cluster, as Grafana has information about all the hubs on a given cluster.
Our community representatives might want access to the Grafana dashboard for their hub, to provide useful information about usage as well as diagnostic information when things are not working as they should. In the longer term, we should streamline this (issue). However, for now, we can invite individual users to a grafana via the Grafana UI.
Find the appropriate grafana for this community - usually it is at
https://<grafana>.<community>.2i2c.cloud
. You can find the correct value by looking at thesupport.values.yaml
file insideconfig/clusters/<cluster-name>
.Login as an admin user. The username is
admin
, and the password can be found in the filehelm-charts/support/enc-support.secret.values.yaml
. As it is an encrypted file, you need to runsops helm-charts/support/enc-support.secret.values.yaml
to be able to see the password.Warning
This password is shared across all our Grafanas! So treat it with care, and do not share it with others
Hover over the gear icon in the bottom of the left sidebar, select ‘Users’.
Click the blue ‘Invite’ button on the main area.
Enter the email address of the community representative we want to create an account for. Leave the name blank (they can fill it in later if they wish). Give them an Admin role (so they can invite others if needed). Deselect ‘Send invite email’ as that does not actually work for us anyway (we do not have outgoing email configured). Click Submit
You will be brought back to the Users page. To the left of the ‘Invite’ button, you’ll see a button named ‘Pending Invites’. Click that.
Find the invite for the user you just added, and click the ‘Copy Invite’ button for that user. This will copy an Invite link for that user, that can be sent back to the community representative! They should be able to click the link, and create an account in the Grafana to have access to all the dashboards.
Warning
Anyone posessing this invite link can access the grafana, so make sure to not leak it!
