Grafana Ansible collection

The Grafana Ansible collection provides configuration management resources for Grafana. You can use it to manage:

Grafana Cloud stacks
Dashboards
Data sources
Folders
Alerting contact points
Notification policies
API keys

If your resources aren’t currently available in the Grafana Ansible collection, you can manage them on Grafana Cloud programmatically by writing Ansible playbooks that use the Ansible’s built-in URI module to call the HTTP APIs to manage resources for the Grafana Cloud portal, as well as those within a stack.
