# Grafana on Kubernetes using Helm
Installation:
1. add the repository:
```sh
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
```
1. install the release:
```sh
helm upgrade --install --namespace monitoring --create-namespace grafana grafana/grafana
```
Get the admin user's password:
```sh
kubectl get secret --namespace monitoring grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo
```
The Grafana server can be accessed via port 80 on `grafana.monitoring.svc.cluster.local` from within the cluster.
To get the external URL:
```sh
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace monitoring -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=grafana,app.kubernetes.io/instance=grafana" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward "${POD_NAME}" 3000
```
Clean up:
```sh
helm delete --namespace monitoring grafana
kubectl delete namespace --ignore-not-found monitoring
```
Access a Prometheus instance in the same namespace using `http://prometheus-server`
Get the default values from the updated chart
```sh
helm inspect values grafana/grafana > "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/kubernetes/helm/grafana/values.yaml"
```
