Is there a decision, how to use Grafana's Status panel with zabbix 3.0.3? I do not understand how to send services information from servers to grafana.
Thanks.
You don't send Zabbix informations to Grafana.
You have to configure Grafana to access zabbix's data through APIs or direct mysql connection, you should start from the official documentation of the plugin.

I want to ask if there is a way how to push alerts from prometheus alert manager into the grafana which runs in a different network. I need to send alert via an API and show it in the Grafana. Does Grafana support such feature? All ports except http and https are blocked so I need to use an API if it is possible. I can easily catch alerts in a script and send via API, I just do not know if grafana has such API.
I was wondering, is it possible to connect a deployed frontend to a offline backend on a local host on the same machine? Or a local frontend to a live backend?
It is not possible to connect a deployed frontend to an offline backend as it can only source data from an online source, but an offline frontend can source data from an online backend as long as the links to the data source or APIs are correctly placed. e.g a mongoDB database, can be posted or one can get data from the database using an offline frontend.
I have a Google Cloud SQL PostgreSQL database in which I can connect by using SSL and by entering my IP address in allowed connection settings. However, I do not want to list all the IP addresses that is going to connect to this database (because I do not know all the IP addresses). I have around 15 people which I want them to login to my database using QGIS and they should be able to change the data as this is a research. Security is not a big issue as this database will be online for a very short period of time. What connection method can you suggest? The users are not very proficient so I need to setup everything.
I hope you're doing fine.
I would like to suggest to set the connections with the Cloud SQL proxy as it will provide the security needed without using ssl or the need of authorize any network. so basically the set up is to:
Enable the API
Install the proxy client on your local machine
Determine how you will authenticate the proxy
If required by your authentication method, create a service account
Also you can find the steps on "Connecting to Cloud SQL from external applications"
Hope this works for you as I have never used it with QGIS but I believe that as you are using a proxy it won't be hard from there to use it with QGIS as if you connected to a local server.
I am trying to implement Grafana Auth Proxy as documented at
https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/auth/auth-proxy/
https://community.grafana.com/t/django-auth-valid-session-on-grafana-behind-nginx/2793/6
Based on how it works, it seems X-WEBAUTH-USER is set in plain text. So any one who can spoof it, can get logged in.
Grafana does have a IP Whitelist, BUT I dont think its practice to maintain IP Addresses of Docker Containers (Django and Grafana are running in separate docker containers).
Questions:
Is there a better implementation to achieve some thing more secured?
Can whitelist have a easier value?
That is design. AuthProxy offloads the authentication to your own legacy "auth" server. Of course you will need to secure connection between auth server and Grafana, so no one will be able to spoof it. For example you may create dedicated docker network (mutual TLS connection, VPN, ...), where users don't have access. The best approach depends on used infrastructure. If you are not able to secure this communication properly, then AuthProxy is not the best auth method for you.
IMHO the best authentication (and single sign on) protocol supported also by Grafana is Open ID Connect (or SAML for Grafana Enteprise). But you will need Identity Provider, which will support these standards.
I created in SAP Logon OData Service and Registed it.
I cheked it and it works good. Now, I want to create cloud connector using the link which I got when tested my Odata Service. It looks like:
http://mylink.com:1234/sap/opu/odata/sap/***_SRV/.
In cloud connector setting I put:
Internal host:mylink.com
Internal port:1234.
But, everytime when I try to check my connection in Cloud Connector it show to me Not Reachable.
Can anybody advice to me something about that and explain to me the reasons of it?
Thanks a lot.
Cloud connector requires two different addresses:
Internal Host and port: this should be the real network address of your on premise system. Typically the SAP Netweaver Gateway where the service URL is in. The address must be reachable from the Cloud Connector server
Virtual Host and port: this should be a non real (virtual) address. It’s a must that this address match the URL address of a destination configured in SAP Cloud Platform.
Moreover, apart from the on premise configuration you must enable which URL paths are allowed to be accessed from the cloud
Check whether your cloud connector and SAP LogOn OData service are in the same network. Then only the SAP cloud connector can reach your on-premise system through a secure channel.
