The purpose of this recipe is to demonstrate the idea of "Dashboards-as-Code." It assumes you have terraform and az installed.
Step 1. Save your environment variables to a file called .env for az to use.
echo 'export TENANT_ID="..."' > .env
echo 'export SUBSCRIPTION_ID="..."' >> .envStep 2. Feed your .env file to source so it can add your environment variables to your current shell session.
source .envStep 3. Save your environment variables to a file called terraform.tfvars for terraform to use.
echo 'tenant_id = "..."' > terraform.tfvars
echo 'subscription_id = "..."' >> terraform.tfvarsStep 4. Enter the command below and authenticate when prompted.
az login --tenant "${TENANT_ID}" --use-device-codeStep 5. Enter the command sentence below so you can deploy an Azure Monitor Workspace instance.
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.MonitorStep 6. Enter the command sentence below so you can deploy an Azure Managed Grafana instance.
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DashboardStep 7. Change directories to terraform.
cd terraformStep 8. Init the terraform directory (i.e., download all the external modules required).
terraform initStep 9. Create a Terraform plan.
