Grafana

Updating Configuration File

The Grafana config is edited by providing overrides in $DOCKER_DATA/custom.ini, which maps to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini inside the container.

The custom.ini file stores secrets in plain text, so we can't keep it in version control. But I've included snippets for reference below:

Basic Server Config

[server]
domain = grafana.jafner.net
root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s/
force_migration = true

[auth]
oauth_auto_login = true

[auth.anonymous]
enabled = true

[auth.generic_oauth]
name = OAuth
icon = signin
enabled = true
client_id = grafana.jafner.net
client_secret = **************************
scopes = email openid profile
empty_scopes = false
auth_url = https://keycloak.jafner.net/realms/Jafner.net/protocol/openid-connect/auth
token_url = https://keycloak.jafner.net/realms/Jafner.net/protocol/openid-connect/token
api_url = https://keycloak.jafner.net/realms/Jafner.net/protocol/
signout_redirect_url = https://grafana.jafner.net

Configure Email Sending via SMTP (Protonmail)

[smtp]
enabled = true
host = smtp.protonmail.ch:587
user = noreply@jafner.net
password = ****************
from_address = noreply@jafner.net
from_name = Grafana
startTLS_policy = OpportunisticStartTLS

Monitoring Specification

Monitors are split into three types: Host, Application, and IoT All monitors use a Prometheus exporter.

Adding Loki and Promtail

Followed this guide from Techno Tim. Non-tracked changes include:

docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:latest --alias loki --grant-all-permissions to install the Loki docker plugin.

Instrumenting: Daemon-Level Logging

Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json to add the following block:

{
    "log-driver": "loki",
    "log-opts": {
        "loki-url": "http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push",
        "loki-batch-size": "400",
        "loki-retries": "1",
        "loki-timeout": "2s"
    }
}

NOTE: All logging will fail if the Loki container is inaccessible. This may cause the Docker daemon to lock up. These parameters are applied when a container is created, so all containers must be destroyed to resolve the issue. NOTE: The batch size here is in lines for all docker logs.

Instrumenting: Per-Container Logging

Add the following logging parameter to each main-service container within a stack.

services:
  <some-service>:
    logging:
      driver: loki
      options:
        loki-url: http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push
        loki-batch-size: "50"
        loki-retries: "1"
        loki-timeout: "2s"
        keep-file: "true"

NOTE: The batch size here is in lines for only the selected container.

See loki log-opts for list of available configuration options for loki logging driver. See docker-compose logging for Docker-compose logging reference.

Instrumenting: Default Docker Logging

Per: Docker docs

The default logging driver is json-file.

The configuration options for the json-file logging driver are here.

Docker-compose adds a few labels to containers it starts. This feature is not comprehensively documented, but here: Compose Specification. And we can see what labels are added by default by simply looking at a deployed application (wg-easy):

Label Key	Value
`com.docker.compose.config-hash`	`f75588baa1056ddc618b1741805d2600b4380e13c5114106de6c8322f79dfd3f`
`com.docker.compose.container-number`	`1`
`com.docker.compose.oneoff`	`False`
`com.docker.compose.project`	`wireguard`
`com.docker.compose.project.config_files`	`docker-compose.yml`
`com.docker.compose.project.working_dir`	`/home/joey/homelab/jafner-net/config/wireguard`
`com.docker.compose.service`	`wg-easy`
`com.docker.compose.version`	`1.29.2`

These are labels on the container, which are distinct from tags in the actual json log payload. Log tags are documented here.
