A simple version control system for dashboards. Closes#1504.
Goals
1. To create a new dashboard version every time a dashboard is saved.
2. To allow users to view all versions of a given dashboard.
3. To allow users to rollback to a previous version of a dashboard.
4. To allow users to compare two versions of a dashboard.
Usage
Navigate to a dashboard, and click the settings cog. From there, click
the "Changelog" button to be brought to the Changelog view. In this
view, a table containing each version of a dashboard can be seen. Each
entry in the table represents a dashboard version. A selectable
checkbox, the version number, date created, name of the user who created
that version, and commit message is shown in the table, along with a
button that allows a user to restore to a previous version of that
dashboard. If a user wants to restore to a previous version of their
dashboard, they can do so by clicking the previously mentioned button.
If a user wants to compare two different versions of a dashboard, they
can do so by clicking the checkbox of two different dashboard versions,
then clicking the "Compare versions" button located below the dashboard.
From there, the user is brought to a view showing a summary of the
dashboard differences. Each summarized change contains a link that can
be clicked to take the user a JSON diff highlighting the changes line by
line.
Overview of Changes
Backend Changes
- A `dashboard_version` table was created to store each dashboard
version, along with a dashboard version model and structs to represent
the queries and commands necessary for the dashboard version API
methods.
- API endpoints were created to support working with dashboard
versions.
- Methods were added to create, update, read, and destroy dashboard
versions in the database.
- Logic was added to compute the diff between two versions, and
display it to the user.
- The dashboard migration logic was updated to save a "Version
1" of each existing dashboard in the database.
Frontend Changes
- New views
- Methods to pull JSON and HTML from endpoints
New API Endpoints
Each endpoint requires the authorization header to be sent in
the format,
```
Authorization: Bearer <jwt>
```
where `<jwt>` is a JSON web token obtained from the Grafana
admin panel.
`GET "/api/dashboards/db/:dashboardId/versions?orderBy=<string>&limit=<int>&start=<int>"`
Get all dashboard versions for the given dashboard ID. Accepts
three URL parameters:
- `orderBy` String to order the results by. Possible values
are `version`, `created`, `created_by`, `message`. Default
is `versions`. Ordering is always in descending order.
- `limit` Maximum number of results to return
- `start` Position in results to start from
`GET "/api/dashboards/db/:dashboardId/versions/:id"`
Get an individual dashboard version by ID, for the given
dashboard ID.
`POST "/api/dashboards/db/:dashboardId/restore"`
Restore to the given dashboard version. Post body is of
content-type `application/json`, and must contain.
```json
{
"dashboardId": <int>,
"version": <int>
}
```
`GET "/api/dashboards/db/:dashboardId/compare/:versionA...:versionB"`
Compare two dashboard versions by ID for the given
dashboard ID, returning a JSON delta formatted
representation of the diff. The URL format follows
what GitHub does. For example, visiting
[/api/dashboards/db/18/compare/22...33](http://ec2-54-80-139-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/api/dashboards/db/18/compare/22...33)
will return the diff between versions 22 and 33 for
the dashboard ID 18.
Dependencies Added
- The Go package [gojsondiff](https://github.com/yudai/gojsondiff)
was added and vendored.
* refactor util encryption library so it doesn't have to import log
* add util.SplitString to handle space and/or comma-separated config lines
* go fmt
Currently there is a limit of 1000 users in the global
user list. This change introduces paging so that an
admin can see all users and not just the first 1000.
Adds a new route to the api - /api/users/search that
returns a list of users and a total count. It takes
two parameters perpage and page that enable paging.
Fixes#7469
Use a SecureJsonData field for TLS
Client Auth instead of 3 new db
fields. Same model as used for
PluginSettings.
Saves and encrypts the pem file
content rather than just saving
the paths to the cert and key.
This allows for uploading from
the Edit Datasource page in
Grafana.
