Previous Article : Monitoring SAP Cloud Foundry Applications with Prometheus and Python

Monitoring is a critical part of any cloud-native application landscape. While SAP BTP provides built-in observability capabilities, many teams prefer Grafana for creating rich dashboards and visualizing metrics from multiple data sources.

applications:
– name: grafana-test
memory: 1512M
disk_quota: 5G
docker:
image: grafana/grafana:latest
env:
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER: admin
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD: admin

Cloud Foundry manifests provide a repeatable deployment configuration and are the recommended approach for application deployment.

cf login -a api.cf.<region>.hana.ondemand.com –sso

cf push

env:
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER: admin
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD: Welcome123!
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS: grafana-piechart-panel

cf cups grafana-config -p ‘{“adminPassword”:”StrongPassword”}’

Bind the service:

cf bind-service grafana grafana-config
cf restage grafana

Conclusion

Deploying Grafana on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry is surprisingly simple. Using the official Grafana Docker image, a lightweight manifest.yml, and a single cf push, you can have a fully functional Grafana instance running in minutes. This approach is ideal for PoCs, internal monitoring solutions, and dashboarding applications while leveraging the scalability and operational simplicity of SAP BTP Cloud Foundry
