Dear oVirt,

 

We are currently running oVirt 4.3 and upgrade/migration to 4.4 won’t be possible for few more months.

 

I am looking into guidelines, how to, for setting up Grafana using DataWarehouse as data source.

 

Did anyone already did this, and would be willing to share the steps?


AFAIU this is definitely not tested/recommended/supported, but the current (4.4) dashboards use only 4.3 dwh compatibility views. So in theory, 4.4 grafana setup can work against your 4.3 engine/dwh without problems. So you can try something like:

1. Install el8 on some machine
2. Install ovirt-release (4.4!)
3. Install ovirt-engine-dwh-grafana-integration-setup. I *think*, didn't try, that it would carry with it all the dependencies it needs.
4. Run engine-setup. When prompted, only accept "Configure grafana?", and reply "No" to everything else
5. Follow the other prompts as applicable

This should be enough.

Not sure about the commands to add SSO on the engine machine. Perhaps better verify this first against a test engine (can be on another el7/ovirt4.3 VM with no hosts).

But, repeating: this isn't recommended.

Did you consider upgrading only your engine, and keep your hosts 4.3 until you can upgrade them later?

Best regards,
