Grafana is an open source, feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor for
Graphite, InfluxDB & OpenTSDB.
## Grafana 2.0
The develop branch has now been merged with master. For 1.9 users this is a big change as Grafana is no longer
a standalone frontend only web application. Grafana 2.0 comes with a backend.

# Grafana 2.0 Alpha branch [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/grafana/grafana.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/grafana/grafana)
Grafana 2.0 comes with a backend written in Go. It is not ready for production use yet as there is still a lot of small
issues to fix and polish missing. But feedback on what is done and bug reports would be greatly appreciated.
## Try it out with docker
```
docker run -i -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana:develop
```
The default admin user is admin/admin.
## building and running
```
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
```
The above will give an error saying there is no go code. That is because the new backend parts are in the develop branch.
Building
```
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
git checkout -t origin/develop
go run build.go setup (only needed once to install godep)
godep restore (will pull down all golang lib dependecies in your current GOPATH)
go build .
```
To build less to css for the frontend you will need a recent version of of node (v0.12.0),
npm (v2.5.0) and grunt (v0.4.5). Run the following:
```
npm install
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt
```
To rebuild on source change (requires that you executed godep restore)
```
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run
```
Running
```
./bin/grafana web
```
Open grafana in your browser (default http://localhost:3000) and login with admin user (default user/pass = admin/admin).
### Config
Create a grafana.custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options.
You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
1. grafana.ini
2. grafana.dev.ini (if found)
3. grafana.custom.ini
### Docs
There is no docs for the configuration and new UI views, or the account / user model yet. But a quick note
is that Grafana 2.0 has a multi tenant account & user model where Dashboards, data sources, api keys, etc are
tied to an account and not to a specific user. Users are coupled to accounts via an account user role (Admin, Editor, Viewer).
The default configuration is set to a single account mode to make this user & account model easier to handle in a single account setup.
User sign ups are automatically added to a main account with the Editor role (this can be overriden in the config file). The default
grafana admin user that is created on first startup also creates the main account.
## Features

## Requirements
There are no dependencies, Grafana is a client side application that runs in your browser. It only needs a time series store where it can fetch metrics. If you use InfluxDB Grafana can use it to store dashboards. If you use Graphite or OpenTSDB you can use Elasticsearch to store dashboards or just use json files stored on disk.
There are no dependencies except an external time series data store. For dashboard and user accounts Grafana can use an embedded
database (sqlite3) or you can use an external SQL data base like MySQL or Postgres.

## Run from master
Grafana uses Node.js and Grunt for asset management (css & javascript), unit test runner and javascript syntax verification.
- clone repository
- install nodejs
- npm install (in project root)
- npm install -g grunt-cli
- grunt (grunt default task that will generate css files)
- grunt build (creates optimized & minified release)
- grunt release (same as grunt build but will also create tar & zip package)
- grunt test (executes jshint and unit tests)
If you want to build a package your self, or contribute. Here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find
the latest master builds [here](http://grafana.org/download/builds)
