grafana-util status

Root

Purpose: render shared project-wide staged or live status.

When to use: when you need the final gate view for exported artifacts or live Grafana state.

Description: start here when you need a final readiness or health readout rather than a deep command-by-command walkthrough. The status namespace is the gate view that operators and CI jobs use to answer “is the staged bundle ready?” or “what does the live Grafana state look like right now?”.

Key flags: the root command is a namespace; staged and live inputs live on the subcommands. Common flags include --output-format and the shared live connection/auth options.

Examples:

# Purpose: Render staged status from dashboard and desired artifacts.
grafana-util status staged --dashboard-export-dir ./dashboards/raw --desired-file ./desired.json --output-format json

# Purpose: Render live status from a reusable profile.
grafana-util status live --profile prod --output-format yaml

staged

Purpose: render project status from staged artifacts.

When to use: when you need the machine-readable readiness gate for exported files before apply.

Key flags: --dashboard-export-dir, --dashboard-provisioning-dir, --datasource-export-dir, --datasource-provisioning-file, --access-user-export-dir, --access-team-export-dir, --access-org-export-dir, --access-service-account-export-dir, --desired-file, --source-bundle, --target-inventory, --alert-export-dir, --availability-file, --mapping-file, --output-format.

Examples:

# Purpose: staged.
grafana-util status staged --dashboard-export-dir ./dashboards/raw --desired-file ./desired.json --output-format table

# Purpose: staged.
grafana-util status staged --dashboard-provisioning-dir ./dashboards/provisioning --alert-export-dir ./alerts --output-format interactive

live

Purpose: render project status from live Grafana read surfaces.

When to use: when you need current Grafana status, optionally deepened with staged context files.

Key flags: --profile, --url, --token, --basic-user, --basic-password, --prompt-password, --prompt-token, --timeout, --verify-ssl, --insecure, --ca-cert, --all-orgs, --org-id, --sync-summary-file, --bundle-preflight-file, --promotion-summary-file, --mapping-file, --availability-file, --output-format.

Notes:

• Prefer --profile for normal live status checks.
• --all-orgs is safest with admin-backed --profile or direct Basic auth because token scope can hide other orgs.

Examples:

# Purpose: live.
grafana-util status live --profile prod --output-format yaml

# Purpose: live.
grafana-util status live --url http://localhost:3000 --token "$GRAFANA_API_TOKEN" --output-format json

# Purpose: live.
grafana-util status live --url http://localhost:3000 --basic-user admin --basic-password admin --all-orgs --sync-summary-file ./sync-summary.json --output-format interactive
