Grafana¶

Backend class¶

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
`grafana`	`social_core.backends.grafana.GrafanaOAuth2`

Grafana works similar to Facebook (OAuth).

On your project settings, you should add Grafana on your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    ...
    'social_core.backends.grafana.GrafanaOAuth2',
)

Register a new application at Grafana Cloud Portal in grafana.com by doing My Account → SECURITY → OAuth Clients → Add OAuth Client Application. Set any name and in URL just the domain, without any path.
Copy client_id and client_secret and add these values in your project settings file.

The client_id should be added on SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_KEY and the client_secret should be added on SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SECRET:

SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_KEY = 'a1b2c3d4'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SECRET = 'e5f6g7h8i9'

The default scope is `['profile', 'email']` but it’s possible to define it in settings with:
```
SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SCOPE = [...]
```
