Installation
Install GrafanaSight into the Atlassian site where your team writes runbooks. After installation, each Confluence space can be configured separately, so teams can decide which spaces should connect to Grafana.
Before You Start
Section titled “Before You Start”You need:
- Confluence administrator access for the Atlassian site.
- Space administrator access for the Confluence space you want to configure.
- A Grafana Cloud instance URL that uses HTTPS and ends in
grafana.net. - A Grafana service account token with read permissions for dashboards, folders, alerts, annotations, and datasources.
Install The App
Section titled “Install The App”- Open the Atlassian Marketplace listing for GrafanaSight for Confluence.
- Select the Confluence site where your runbooks live.
- Approve the installation.
- Open the target Confluence space.
- Confirm that GrafanaSight appears in the space navigation or app area.
Before configuration, GrafanaSight intentionally shows an onboarding state and a not-configured byline. This is normal.
Prepare Grafana Cloud
Section titled “Prepare Grafana Cloud”Create a Grafana service account token for GrafanaSight. The token should have the least access needed for the dashboards and alerts that will appear in Confluence.
Recommended permissions:
| Capability | Why GrafanaSight uses it |
|---|---|
| Dashboards read | Load dashboard names, UIDs, folders, tags, and panel definitions. |
| Folders read | Organize the Confluence dashboard library by Grafana folder. |
| Alert rules read | Show active alert rules and alert summaries. |
| Alert instances read | Show current alert state. |
| Annotations read | Display deployment and incident markers when available. |
| Datasources read | Support dashboard metadata and panel rendering context. |
Keep the token outside Confluence pages and docs. Enter it only in GrafanaSight configuration.
