Hi Simon, Prometheus and Grafana are only supported for openSUSE/SLES as of now.

Has anyone managed to get the Grafana dashboards working on Centos or Rocky?

I have tried several times over various versions and just given another hour to the task without any joy.

Following the guide and applying the Salt formula always fails on the targets I’ve tried, with:

*          ID: install_prometheus*

*    Function: pkg.installed*

*        Name: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus*

*      Result: false*

*     Comment: Error occurred installing package(s). Additional info follows:*

*         SLS: prometheus*

*     Changed: {}*

And indeed – the package is not called that on EL. It /is/ supplied in the Epel repos (although on Centos 7 that appears to be broken – it does install fine manually on Rocky 8) – but the package is called *golang-github-prometheus * - so always fails.

Anyone know how to work around this? I don’t have any Suse machines other than the one Uyuni runs on.

Manually, I always seem to get into configuration problems with Prometheus. It’s not software I’m familiar with and it does seem very fussy about syntax (something I’ve seen discussed at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/2082 https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/2082 )

I have an existing Grafana server that I’d like to be able to use this with.

Hi Simon, if that's of any help, the template for Prometheus configuration can be found here: https://github.com/SUSE/salt-formulas/blob/master/prometheus-formula/prometh... Please note that it's valid for Prometheues >= 2.32.0. For older versions look up another template in the same directory. The Uyuni service discovery `uyuni_sd_configs` retrieves information about targets from the Salt formulas applied from Uyuni server. So, e.g. you have to install node exporter on the minion via formula to have it automatically configured as monitored target. I hope it helps.

Hi Witek,

Thanks for taking the time to confirm that.

I'm embarrassed to say that I have spent a fair amount of time trying this manually too, with similar lack of success.

Not a big problem, I am already extracting a bunch of data and displaying it on Grafana via scripts, spacecmd, spacewalk-reports and the api.

Cheers
