Hi All,

Looking for help on how to skip grafana operator installation while installing MAS9 on ARO private cluster.

I could not find any option to disable the grafana operator installation in ansible.

I just see install or update. Please advise on this.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ritesh,

I'm assuming You are using MAS DevOps Ansible collection to install MAS. in this case, You can set the `grafana_action` variable to something else than 'install', 'uninstall' or 'update'. This will cause the grafana role to be skipped.

Hi.. Any update on this thread ? I am trying to skip the Grafana installation using MAS CLI non interactive mode. But it says --skip-grafana-install command not found 

I see the following in ibmmas/cli:18.20.1… If this isn't working, you should open a support case and inform the product team. On a related note, although I'm not completely certain, I believe Manage requires Grafana as a dependency (please double‑check). Not sure why you want to skip it?

Grafana:
  Configure Grafana installation, namespace and storage size.

  --skip-grafana-install                          Skip Grafana installation
  --grafana-v5-namespace GRAFANA_V5_NAMESPACE     Customize the Grafana namespace
  --grafana-instance-storage-size GRAFANA_INSTANCE_STORAGE_SIZE
                                                  Customize the Grafana storage size

Grafana is not strictly needed for any of MAS apps.

@Ashwini note that latest Grafana operator is not compatible with MAS 4.18 or earlier. MAS CLI has a workaround built-in for that, but it was introduced in release 18.20.1. If You are using older version and OCP 4.18 then Grafana install will fail.
