# GitOps Deployment Guide
This guide explains how to apply the fixed dashboard configurations to the production GitOps monitoring stack.
## 🎯 Overview
The production monitoring stack is deployed via **Portainer GitOps** on `homelab-vm` and automatically syncs from this repository. The configuration is embedded in `hosts/vms/homelab-vm/monitoring.yaml`.
## 🔧 Applying Dashboard Fixes
### Current Status
- **Production GitOps**: Uses embedded dashboard configs (may have datasource UID issues)
- **Development Stack**: Has all fixes applied (`docker/monitoring/`)
### Step-by-Step Fix Process
#### 1. Test Fixes Locally
```bash
# Deploy the fixed development stack
cd docker/monitoring
docker-compose up -d
# Verify all dashboards work
./verify-dashboard-sections.sh
# Access: http://localhost:3300 (admin/admin)
```
#### 2. Extract Fixed Dashboard JSON
```bash
# Get the fixed Synology dashboard
cat docker/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/synology-nas-monitoring.json
# Get other fixed dashboards
cat docker/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/node-exporter-full.json
cat docker/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/node-details.json
cat docker/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/infrastructure-overview.json
```
#### 3. Update GitOps Configuration
Edit `hosts/vms/homelab-vm/monitoring.yaml` and replace the embedded dashboard configs:
```yaml
configs:
# Replace this section with fixed JSON
dashboard_synology:
content: |
{
# Paste the fixed JSON from docker/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/synology-nas-monitoring.json
# Make sure to update the datasource UID to: PBFA97CFB590B2093
}
```
#### 4. Key Fixes to Apply
**Datasource UID Fix:**
```json
"datasource": {
"type": "prometheus",
"uid": "PBFA97CFB590B2093" // ← Ensure this matches your Prometheus UID
}
```
**Template Variable Fix:**
```json
"templating": {
"list": [
{
"current": {
"selected": false,
"text": "All",
"value": "$__all" // ← Ensure proper current value
}
}
]
}
```
**Instance Filter Fix:**
```json
"targets": [
{
"expr": "up{instance=~\"$instance\"}", // ← Fix empty instance filters
"legendFormat": "{{instance}}"
}
]
```
#### 5. Deploy via GitOps
```bash
# Commit the updated configuration
git add hosts/vms/homelab-vm/monitoring.yaml
git commit -m "Fix dashboard datasource UIDs and template variables in GitOps
- Updated Synology NAS dashboard with correct Prometheus UID
- Fixed template variables with proper current values
- Corrected instance filters in all dashboard queries
- Verified fixes work in development stack first
Fixes applied from docker/monitoring/ development stack."
# Push to trigger GitOps deployment
git push origin main
```
#### 6. Verify Production Deployment
1. **Check Portainer**: Monitor the stack update in Portainer
2. **Access Grafana**: https://gf.vish.gg
3. **Test Dashboards**: Verify all panels show data
4. **Check Logs**: Review container logs if issues occur
## 🚨 Rollback Process
If the GitOps deployment fails:
```bash
# Revert the commit
git revert HEAD
# Push the rollback
git push origin main
# Or restore from backup
git checkout HEAD~1 -- hosts/vms/homelab-vm/monitoring.yaml
git commit -m "Rollback monitoring configuration"
git push origin main
```
## 📋 Validation Checklist
Before applying to production:
- [ ] Development stack works correctly (`docker/monitoring/`)
- [ ] All dashboard panels display data
- [ ] Template variables function properly
- [ ] Instance filters are not empty
- [ ] Datasource UIDs match production Prometheus
- [ ] JSON syntax is valid (use `jq` to validate)
- [ ] Backup of current GitOps config exists
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### Dashboard Shows "No Data"
1. Check datasource UID matches production Prometheus
2. Verify Prometheus is accessible from Grafana container
3. Check template variable queries
4. Ensure instance filters are properly formatted
### GitOps Deployment Fails
1. Check Portainer stack logs
2. Validate YAML syntax in monitoring.yaml
3. Ensure Docker configs are properly formatted
4. Verify git repository connectivity
### Container Won't Start
1. Check Docker Compose syntax
2. Verify config file formatting
3. Check volume mounts and permissions
4. Review container logs for specific errors
