For business system deployment and maintenance scenarios , We have developed operation and maintenance tools , It mainly includes early deployment 、 Two key points of post maintenance , Monitoring is an important indicator of deployment , So we need to integrate these monitoring modules into the operation and maintenance tools , The monitoring system components here include ：node-exporter+blackbox-exporter+alertmanager+prometheus+grafana.

grafana As an important module in the monitoring component , Automated deployment is simple , There are many other operations besides deployment , For example, add a data source 、 Import monitoring template , These need to be operated manually . If these cannot be automated , Then your operation and maintenance tool can hardly be called an automation tool .

Here we will focus on how to add... In an automated way datasource and dashboard？
