grafana-dashboard-sonarr

A Sonarr dashboard implemented using Grafana Infinity datasource

The intent here is to add Grafana dashboard features for a Sonarr v3 API, using Grafana Infinity as a datasource.

Grafana Infinity has been selected for its JSON support, query caching, and the fact that it doesn't require a datasource + exporter to function.

Grafana Infinity runs the queries from the Grafana instance, rather than using an exporter application to query Sonarr, transform the data, store it in a separate database or metrics gathering instance, and retrieving these metrics with Grafana.

Documenttation will improve, this is just scratching details down while I work.

To Install the Grafana Infinity plugin:

• log into Grafana
• Add New Connection from hamburger menu on left
• search Grafana Infinity
• Select plugin
• click Install

To add the Sonarr API data source:

• log into Grafana
• Data sources
• Add New Data source
• Name: Sonarr v3 JSON API ((OR your own name. This datasource will only work with this Sonarr instance, as the API auth is required in a header.))
• Search/select Grafana Infinity
• Ignore Main tab
• Autnetication tab; API Key Value Pair --- Key: X-Api-Key Value: ((Your Sonarr API Key))
• Security --- Add your Sonarr URL under Allowed Hosts. Include protocol, IP/hostname, and port. Ex: http://192.168.33.33:8989
• Health check --- Add the path /ping
• Misc --- Base URL should be set to the same URL as you entered under Allowed Hosts. Ex: http://192.168.33.33:8989
• Save & Test
