Grafana config

[till]

How do you configure the included Grafana to use GitHub Auth?

For Grafana itself, I've done configuration before. It's straight forward:

Is there anything to pass along to a concourse-up to enable that?

Hi @till

There is currently no way to do this in Concourse Up. It is potentially something we could implement though.

It is worth noting that we are no longer developing Concourse Up as a project. If we do end up implementing this it will be on this project's spiritual successor Control Tower.

@crsimmons I understand. Can you give me any pointers if I can manage this via Ansible, or is concourse-up potentially destructive of changes done outside of it?

[crsimmons]

In Concourse Up Grafana is managed with BOSH and is colocated with the Concourse Web VM. Because of this I would suspect that any manual changes would be overwritten by subsequent concourse-up deploys.

@crsimmons I'd take a stab at a PR, but I couldn't figure out how and where Grafana is installed? Any pointers? I'd propose some changes.

Grafana is installed via the BOSH release. The manifest is in a separate repo and is pulled into Concourse-up when the binary is built.
