Introduction

Bitnami charts for Helm are carefully engineered, actively maintained and are the quickest and easiest way to deploy containers on a Kubernetes cluster that are ready to handle production workloads.

This chart bootstraps a Grafana Operator Deployment Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Bitnami charts can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Differences between the Bitnami Grafana chart and the Bitnami Grafana Operator chart

The Bitnami catalog offers both the bitnami/grafana and bitnami/grafana-operator charts. Each solution covers different needs and use cases.

  • The bitnami/grafana chart deploys a single Grafana installation (with Grafana Image Renderer) using a Kubernetes Deployment object (together with Services, PVCs, ConfigMaps, etc.). Its lifecycle is managed using Helm and, at the Grafana container level, the following operations are automated: persistence management, configuration based on environment variables and plugin initialization. The chart also allows deploying dashboards and data sources using ConfigMaps. The Deployments do not require any ServiceAccounts with special RBAC privileges so this solution would fit better in more restricted Kubernetes installations.

The chart also allows deploying dashboards and data sources using ConfigMaps. The Deployments do not require any ServiceAccounts with special RBAC privileges so this solution would fit better in more restricted Kubernetes installations.

  • The bitnami/grafana-operator chart deploys a Grafana Operator installation using a Kubernetes Deployment. The operator will extend the Kubernetes API with the following objects: Grafana, GrafanaDashboard and GrafanaDataSource. From that moment, the user will be able to deploy objects of these kinds and the previously deployed Operator will take care of deploying all the required Deployments, ConfigMaps and Services for running a Grafana instance. Its lifecycle is managed using kubectl on the Grafana, GrafanaDashboard and GrafanaDataSource objects.

Note: As the operator automatically deploys Grafana installations, the Grafana Operator pods will require a ServiceAccount with privileges to create and destroy multiple Kubernetes objects. This may be problematic for Kubernetes clusters with strict role-based access policies.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.23+
  • Helm 3.8.0+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

These commands deploy grafana-operator on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Configuration and installation details

Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the resources value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the resourcesPreset values, which automatically sets the resources section according to different presets. Check these presets in the bitnami/common chart. However, in production workloads using resourcePreset is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the official Kubernetes documentation.

Rolling vs Immutable tags

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

Create Grafana Dashboards

After the installation, create Dashboards under a CRD of your Kubernetes cluster.

For more details regarding what is possible with those CRDs please have a look at Working with Dashboards.

Deploy extra Grafana resources or objects

There are cases where you may want to deploy extra objects, such as custom Grafana, GrafanaDashboard or GrafanaDataSource objects. For covering this case, the chart allows adding the full specification of other objects using the extraDeploy parameter.

For instance, to deploy a custom Grafana definition, install the Grafana Operator chart using the values below:

grafana:
  enabled: false
extraDeploy:
  - apiVersion: integreatly.org/v1alpha1
    baseImage: docker.io/bitnami/grafana:7

        containerSecurityContext:
          runAsUser: 1001
          fsGroup: 1001
          allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
      service:
        type: LoadBalancer
      ingress:
        enabled: false
      config:
        log:
          mode: "console"
          level: "warn"
        security:
          admin_user: "admin"
          admin_password: "hello"
        auth.anonymous:
          enabled: true
      dashboardLabelSelector:
        - matchExpressions:
            - { key: app, operator: In, values: [grafana] }

grafana.readinessProbe.timeoutSeconds Timeout seconds for readinessProbe 5
grafana.readinessProbe.failureThreshold Failure threshold for readinessProbe 6
grafana.readinessProbe.successThreshold Success threshold for readinessProbe 1
grafana.updateStrategy Set up update strategy for Grafana installation. {}
grafana.extraVolumes Optionally specify extra list of additional volumes for the grafana pod(s) []
grafana.extraVolumeMounts Optionally specify extra list of additional volumeMounts for the grafana container []
grafana.secrets Optionally specify a list of secrets to be mounted to the grafana pod(s) []
grafana.sidecars Add additional sidecar containers to the grafana pod(s) []

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install my-release \
  --set livenessProbe.successThreshold=5 \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

The above command sets the livenessProbe.successThreshold to 5.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

Upgrading

helm upgrade my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

To 4.0.0

This major bump changes the following security defaults:

  • runAsGroup is changed from 0 to 1001
  • readOnlyRootFilesystem is set to true
  • resourcesPreset is changed from none to the minimum size working in our test suites (NOTE: resourcesPreset is not meant for production usage, but resources adapted to your use case).
  • global.compatibility.openshift.adaptSecurityContext is changed from disabled to auto.

This could potentially break any customization or init scripts used in your deployment. If this is the case, change the default values to the previous ones.

To 3.0.0

In this version use different apiVersion in CRDs integreatly.org/v1alpha1 -> grafana.integreatly.org/v1beta1 Please check the [offical documentation|https://github.com/grafana-operator/grafana-operator/blob/master/docs/blog/v4-v5-migration.md] to migrate to version 3.

To 2.0.0

In this version the CRDs get updated from v1beta to v1 stable API. It also updates the operator image to the new major v4.x.y release.

The values.yaml does not need changes when updating to this major version of the chart

  • CRDs were updated to the latest Grafana Operator 4.0.x release artifacts:
    • The apiVersion of CRDs was updated from apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 to apiextensions.k8s.io/v1.
    • Kubernetes 1.16 or higher is now required.

Some of the chart values were changed to adapt to the latest Bitnami standards. More specifically:

  • operator.args was replaced with the standard value of overriding the container commands. The original operator.args contents were moved to operator.
  • Several standard values were added such as sidecars, initContainers, extraEnvVars, amongst others.

No issues should be expected when upgrading.

To 1.0.0

In this version, the image block is defined once and is used in the different templates, while in the previous version, the image block was duplicated for the grafana container and the grafana plugin init one

image:
  registry: docker.io
  repository: bitnami/grafana
  tag: 7.5.10
