A Kubernetes operator that installs and manages Grafana instances, dashboards, datasources, and other Grafana resources via custom resources on Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters. It is designed for infrastructure-as-code and GitOps workflows with tools like ArgoCD and Flux CD.

Use cases

  • deploy grafana on kubernetes declaratively
  • manage grafana dashboards as code with gitops
  • synchronize grafana datasources across multiple instances
  • run many grafana instances in a cluster
  • manage grafana alerting and folders via CRDs
  • install grafana operator with helm or olm

When to choose

  • you run Grafana on Kubernetes or OpenShift and want declarative, GitOps-driven management
  • you need to provision dashboards and datasources automatically across one or many Grafana instances
  • you use ArgoCD or Flux and want Grafana resources in your Git repository

When to avoid

  • you run Grafana outside Kubernetes and don't use cluster CRDs
  • you prefer manual UI-based Grafana administration for a single small instance
  • you need a general-purpose monitoring stack rather than Grafana lifecycle management
