Hello, I was wondering how can I generate reports from the dashboards in Grafana. Anybody has done that?
Thanks!

hi @green cypress The Harvest team has not used it, but a few customers have mentioned that they are using https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/create-reports/

Thank you. Chris!
The documentation is saying the reporting is available in Grafana Professional and Cloud. I don't see reporting under the dashboards in the version I get to from the NABox.

Yes, that's my understanding also. Grafana Reporting is available in Grafana Cloud and in Grafana Enterprise. According to Grafana, "The Enterprise Edition is the default and recommended edition. It includes all the features of the OSS Edition, can be used for free and can be upgraded to the full Enterprise feature set, including support for Enterprise plugins."
I would assume it's possible to use in nabox since it should be a drop-in replacement, but I haven't tried

Has any tried this yet? When I go to grafana>Administration>stats and license i see that NAbox is using the free open-source version. we need to upgrade to enterprise to enable reporting but its says its only 30 days free trial. Is there any other options to get reporting out of grafana?

There are some free open source alternatives like https://github.com/IzakMarais/reporter
I haven't tried this.

yeah ive been looking at this, im having issues figuring out how to run it. NAbox uses sidecar linux which doesnt appear to have a package manager or anything to install it. i tried the container which is running but all traffic in NAbox goes through traific container which does url translation and doesnt expose the standard port 3000 for grafana. i think i need to modify the iptables rules for docker and also add rules into trafic but really not sure what to do

from what i understand on that tool, you don't have to install it on the same system as grafana, it just has to have access to the URL/API/Port on the grafana system
ip string
Grafana IP and port. (default "localhost:3000")
-port string
Port to serve on. (default ":8686")

yeah but the grafana port is not exposed. I think all traffic is routed through the traefic server which is doing url translation from "localhost:3000" to localhost/grafana/dashboards. when i put this url in the ip string it doesnt work

Does anyone know the best way to allow the report tool to access grafana? I dont want to open up everything in iptables and expose more than is needed.

For testing purposes, to verify if the report generation works, you can set up a separate Grafana instance. Connect the NABox VictoriaMetrics to this instance and try generating reports locally. This way, you won't have to worry about port configurations.
