Store Custom Grafana Dashboard to stable/prometheus-operator helm chart

[Zhang Zhao]

Hi, 

I was using stable/prometheus-operator helm chart to deploy Prometheus components along with Grafana. The issue I ran into was that everytime the Grafana pod gets restarted, all custom configuration and dashboards which I imported from Grafana dashboard hub were removed. I tried to add this config below for importing dashboards from Grafana in the values.yaml file, however it didn't work as expected, the pod failed to start because it says not able to parse the dashboardproviders.yaml file..  Any advice where was wrong? Thanks.

grafana:

  enabled: true

  replicas: 1

  image:

    repository: grafana/grafana

    tag: 7.1.0

  dashboardProviders:

    dashboardproviders.yaml:

      apiVersion: v1

      providers:

      - name: 'default'

        orgId: 1

        folder: ''

        type: file

        disableDeletion: false

        editable: true

        options:

          path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/default

  dashboard:

    default:

      prometheus-status:

        gnetId: 2

        revision: 2

        datasource: Prometheus
