Installing RedHat community powered Grafana operator from OperatorHub

If you are running a Kubernetes cluster without OpenShift platform, please continue with the Deploying Grafana Operator from OperatorHub on k8s cluster instructions

1. Check the Grafana operator available on the OpenShift cluster

   Command:

   oc get packagemanifests -n openshift-marketplace |grep grafana

   Example output:

   [root@api.helene.cp.fyre.ibm.com ~]# oc get packagemanifests -n openshift-marketplace |grep grafana
   grafana-operator                                     Community Operators   34d

   Note: if the grafana-operator resource is not listed, follow this troubleshooting guide to find the possible issue.

2. Create the OperatorGroup and the Subscription object in the namespace you are going to deploy a Grafana instance for a CNSA cluster

   Commands:

   NAMESPACE=grafana-for-cnsa

   echo $NAMESPACE

   oc new-project $NAMESPACE

   oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/ibm-spectrum-scale-bridge-for-grafana/master/examples/openshift_deployment_scripts/examples_for_grafana-operator_v5/grafana_deployment/operator-group-v5.yaml --namespace=$NAMESPACE

   oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/ibm-spectrum-scale-bridge-for-grafana/master/examples/openshift_deployment_scripts/examples_for_grafana-operator_v5/grafana_deployment/subscription-grafana-operator-v5.yaml --namespace=$NAMESPACE

3. Check the Grafana operator have been added to the Operator Subscriptions

   Command:

   oc get subs -n $NAMESPACE

   Example output:

   [root@api.helene.cp.fyre.ibm.com ~]# oc get subs -n $NAMESPACE
   NAME                            PACKAGE            SOURCE                CHANNEL
   grafana-operator-subscription   grafana-operator   community-operators   v5

Alternatively you can install the Grafana operator using the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
