GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE grafana.env configuration

Grafana Configuration
1

Hi, I trying to setup a Grafana Docker Container so it can upload images to my AWS S3 Public bucket.

So far I have already configured the grafana.env file like this:

GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_PROVIDER=s3
GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=my-aws-public-bucket
GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_REGION=us-east-1
GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAZIXTDAK2SB6EXXXX
GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_SECRET_KEY=0c/p+1oeJKrQatVHeyxVh/NCkG5XYG5IdFBXXXXX

But I haven’t been able to get the graph image shown in my slack notification channel.

I have already tested my AWS credentials using aws-cli for uploading the image to my bucket and it is working.

When I run docker-compose -d up I can see from the console log that grafana is reading the configuration environment from grafana.env file:

grafana_container | t=2020-01-27T18:03:02+0000 lvl=info msg=“Config overridden from Environment variable” logger=settings var=“GF_EXTERNAL_I
MAGE_STORAGE_PROVIDER=s3”
grafana_container | t=2020-01-27T18:03:02+0000 lvl=info msg=“Config overridden from Environment variable” logger=settings var=“GF_EXTERNAL_I
MAGE_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=my-aws-public-bucket”

grafana_container | t=2020-01-27T18:03:02+0000 lvl=info msg=“Config overridden from Environment variable” logger=settings var=“GF_EXTERNAL_I

MAGE_STORAGE_S3_SECRET_KEY=*********”

But I haven’t got any image in my slack notification channel

Hi!

Do you get any errors for your alert notifications? What permissions do you have on your S3 bucket? What are the settings for the alert notifications channel in Grafana?

Hi @dehrax it was a typo in my bucket name. I did not know what was wrong until I enabled debugging logs.

Thanks.

This is an example of the GRAFANA External S3 Bucket:

  GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET: <AWS S3 Bucket Name>
  GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_REGION: us-east-1
  GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY: <Access Key>
  GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_SECRET_KEY: <Secret Key>
  GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_S3_PATH: <Path inside the Bucket>

I added these variables in my docker-compose file.

Hope it helps you.
