Extension:Grafana

Check extension with Grafana

Grafana creates beautiful metrics & analitics dashboards.

Introduction
Usually people spend a lot of time solving trivial problems and a lot of problems can be solved by end user.

If we join a wiki (Mediawiki) for documentation and a tool (Grafana) for creating dashboards with metrics & analitics we obtain a powerful tool. System administrators can create instructions with panels updated in real time. (Also you can use Nagvis extension to monitor alarms, warning, etc.)

Check usage

 * Grafana

Installation

 * 1) Download the extension (tgz) or (zip).
 * 2) Upload Grafana directory to your extensions directory from the root of your MediaWiki installation.

Tag attributes
The following arguments (tag attributes) can be used to control  tags:

Mandatory

 * showheader (yes/no)
 * Show a title for the panel and an icon to link Grafana server.


 * urlgrafana
 * Grafana url (Extension will check if it's a correct Grafana site)


 * dashboard
 * Name of the dashboard in Grafana Server


 * papelposition
 * It's the postion of the panel in the dashboard (panelposition=1 it's the first panel in row 1).
 * For example if we have 3 rows (row 1 with 2 panels, row 2 with 1 panel and row 3 with 3 panels)
 * and we want to select panel 2 in row 3:
 * ''panelposition = 5 -> 2 (panels in row 1) + 1 (panels in row 2) + 2 (panel in row 3)
 * ''panelposition = 5 -> 2 (panels in row 1) + 1 (panels in row 2) + 2 (panel in row 3)

''

Optional

 * var-templatename
 * Include params for templates, we need to add an argument with the prefix "var-"
 * and templatename. For example to add var $macrolan:
 * var-macrolan=template_var_value
 * width
 * Panel width
 * width
 * Panel width
