Grafana PDF Report using Puppeteer

Generate pdf report for grafana dashboards using nodejs and puppeteer.

I took the base code from https://gist.github.com/svet-b/1ad0656cd3ce0e1a633e16eb20f66425

It was generating blank panels after certain point when dashboard is tall. This repo code addresses this issue.

Steps to run

• latest version of node should be installed
• go inside root folder of this project where package.json is located.
• for the first time run 'npm clean install'
• see below examples to run

Examples

You can directly run this command by passing all the params

node grafana_pdf.js "http://localhost:3000/d/7ps_KoFMk?orgId=1&from=1602513421982&to=1602513601734" admin:admin output/grafana_dash.pdf

node grafana_pdf.js "http://localhost:3000/d/VyLxLpNnk/first?orgId=1" admin:admin output/grafana_dash.pdf

or you can set some env variables shown below

Environment: Set the Grafana server URL, username, and password, and the output filename as environment variables.

export GF_DASH_URL="http://localhost:3000/d/x3g4Wx5ik/new-dashboard?kiosk"
export GF_USER=pdf_export
export GF_PASSWORD=StrongPassword1
export OUTPUT_PDF=output/output.pdf

# Now export to PDF by calling the NodeJS script with the corresponding arguments:

node grafana_pdf.js $GF_DASH_URL $GF_USER:$GF_PASSWORD $OUTPUT_PDF
