How to connect grafana to prometheus

[holgerkoch]

Hello,

First, thank you very much for the really good Prometheus template. It is working very fine.

We try to connect from a grafana frontend to the Prometheus server. But we got no successful connection. Maybe the oauth proxy is a problem.

My question is, did somebody successfully connect from grafana to the prometheus server?

Best regards

Holger

@holgerkoch haven't tried that myself.
If grafana is outside of the prometheus pod it will have to connect via the proxy, using openshift admin token in the Authorization header:
"Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

If grafana headers can't be modified, as a workaround, you can deploy grafana in the same pod, and connect via clear http without the proxy.
