Documentation Grafana Agent Flow mode Get started Install Puppet

Install Grafana Agent Flow with Puppet

You can use Puppet to install and manage Grafana Agent Flow.

Before you begin

• These steps assume you already have a working Puppet setup.
• You can add the following manifest to any new or existing module.
• The manifest installs Grafana Agent Flow from the package repositories. It targets Linux systems from the following families:
  • Debian (including Ubuntu)
  • RedHat Enterprise Linux (including Fedora)

Steps

To add Grafana Agent Flow to a host:

1. Ensure that the following module dependencies are declared and installed:

   json Copy

   {
   "name": "puppetlabs/apt",
   "version_requirement": ">= 4.1.0 <= 7.0.0"
   },
   {
   "name": "puppetlabs/yumrepo_core",
   "version_requirement": "<= 2.0.0"
   }

2. Create a new Puppet manifest with the following class to add the Grafana package repositories, install the grafana-agent-flow package, and run the service:

   ruby Copy

   class grafana_agent::grafana_agent_flow () {
     case $::os['family'] {
       'debian': {
         apt::source { 'grafana':
           location => 'https://apt.grafana.com/',
           release  => '',
           repos    => 'stable main',
           key      => {
             id     => 'B53AE77BADB630A683046005963FA27710458545',
             source => 'https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key',
           },
         } -> package { 'grafana-agent-flow':
           require => Exec['apt_update'],
         } -> service { 'grafana-agent-flow':
           ensure    => running,
           name      => 'grafana-agent-flow',
           enable    => true,
           subscribe => Package['grafana-agent-flow'],
         }
       }
       'redhat': {
         yumrepo { 'grafana':
           ensure   => 'present',
           name     => 'grafana',
           descr    => 'grafana',
           baseurl  => 'https://packages.grafana.com/oss/rpm',
           gpgkey   => 'https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key',
           enabled  => '1',
           gpgcheck => '1',
           target   => '/etc/yum.repo.d/grafana.repo',
         } -> package { 'grafana-agent-flow':
         } -> service { 'grafana-agent-flow':
           ensure    => running,
           name      => 'grafana-agent-flow',
           enable    => true,
           subscribe => Package['grafana-agent-flow'],
         }
       }
       default: {
         fail("Unsupported OS family: (${$::os['family']})")
       }
     }
   }

3. To use this class in a module, add the following line to the module’s init.pp file:

   ruby Copy

   include grafana_agent::grafana_agent_flow

Configuration

The grafana-agent-flow package installs a default configuration file that doesn’t send telemetry anywhere.

The default configuration file location is /etc/grafana-agent-flow.river. You can replace this file with your own configuration, or create a new configuration file for the service to use.
