Grafana is an open source, feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor for
Graphite, Elasticsearch, OpenTSDB, Prometheus and InfluxDB.

-->
## Installation
Head to [docs.grafana.org](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/) for documentation or [grafana.com/get](https://grafana.com/get) to download the latest release.
## Documentation & Support
Be sure to read the [Getting Started](http://docs.grafana.org/guides/gettingstarted/) guide and the other feature guides.
## Run from master
If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find
the latest master builds [here](https://grafana.com/grafana/download).
### Dependencies
- Go (Latest Stable)
- Node.js LTS
- yarn [`npm install -g yarn`]
### Get the project
**The project located in the go-path will be your working directory.**
```bash
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
```
### Run and rebuild on source change
#### Backend
To run the backend and rebuild on source change:
```bash
make run
```
#### Frontend
Install front-end dependencies first:
```bash
yarn install --pure-lockfile
```
Rebuild on file change, and serve them by Grafana's webserver (http://localhost:3000):
```bash
yarn start
```
Build the assets, rebuild on file change with Hot Module Replacement (HMR), and serve them by webpack-dev-server (http://localhost:3333):
```bash
yarn start:hot
# OR set a theme
env GRAFANA_THEME=light yarn start:hot
```
_Note: HMR for Angular is not supported. If you edit files in the Angular part of the app, the whole page will reload._
Run tests and rebuild on source change:
```bash
yarn jest
```
**Open grafana in your browser (default: e.g. `http://localhost:3000`) and login with admin user (default: `user/pass = admin/admin`).**
### Building
#### The backend
```bash
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build
```
#### Frontend assets
_For this you need Node.js (LTS version)._
```bash
yarn install --pure-lockfile
```
### Building a Docker image
There are two different ways to build a Grafana docker image. If your machine is setup for Grafana development and you run linux/amd64 you can build just the image. Otherwise, there is the option to build Grafana completely within Docker.
Run the image you have built using: `docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana:dev`
#### Building on linux/amd64 (fast)
1. Build the frontend `go run build.go build-frontend`.
2. Build the docker image `make build-docker-dev`.
The resulting image will be tagged as `grafana/grafana:dev`.
#### Building anywhere (slower)
Choose this option to build on platforms other than linux/amd64 and/or not have to setup the Grafana development environment.
1. `make build-docker-full` or `docker build -t grafana/grafana:dev`.
The resulting image will be tagged as `grafana/grafana:dev`.
Notice: If you are using Docker for MacOS, be sure to set the memory limit to be larger than 2 GiB (at docker -> Preferences -> Advanced), otherwise `grunt build` may fail.
## Development
### Dev config
Create a 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
1. custom.ini
In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading `;`) sign. And set `app_mode = development`.
### Running tests
#### Frontend
Execute all frontend tests:
```bash
yarn test
```
Write and watch frontend tests:
- Start watcher: `yarn jest`.
- Jest runs all test files that end with the name ".test.ts".
#### Backend
```bash
# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/...
```
##### Running the MySQL or Postgres backend tests:
Run these by setting `GRAFANA_TEST_DB` in your environment.
- `GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql` to test MySQL
- `GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres` to test Postgres
Follow the instructions in `./devenv` to spin up test containers running the appropriate databases with `docker-compose`
- Use `docker/blocks/mysql_tests` or `docker/blocks/postgres_tests` as appropriate.
```bash
# MySQL
# Tests can only be ran in one Go package at a time due to clashing db queries. To run MySQL tests for the "pkg/services/sqlstore" package, run:
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/services/sqlstore/...
# Or run all the packages using the circle CI scripts. This method will be slower as the scripts will run all the tests, including the integration tests.
./scripts/circle-test-mysql.sh
```
```bash
# Postgres
# Tests can only be ran in one Go package at a time due to clashing db queries. To run Postgres tests for the "pkg/services/sqlstore" package, run:
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/services/sqlstore/...
# Or run all the packages using the circle CI scripts. This method will be slower as the scripts will run all the tests, including the integration tests.
./scripts/circle-test-postgres.sh
```
#### End-to-end
Execute all end-to-end tests:
```bash
yarn e2e-tests
```
Execute all end-to-end tests using using a specific url:
```bash
ENV BASE_URL=http://localhost:3333 yarn e2e-tests
```
Debugging all end-to-end tests (BROWSER=1 starts the browser and SLOWMO=1 delays each puppeteer operation by 100ms):
```bash
ENV BROWSER=1 SLOWMO=1 yarn e2e-tests
```
### Data source and dashboard provisioning
[Here](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master/devenv) you can find helpful scripts and docker-compose setup
that will populate your dev environment for quicker testing and experimenting.
