Enabling Pipeline Insights or Deployment Insights or User Insights in ISD

Pipeline Insights, Deployment Insights and User Insights can be enabled in ISD Spinnaker. This requires few pre-installation and post installation steps to be followed as given below:

Pre-Installation

To enable the Pipeline Insights, Deployment Insights and User Insights (disabled by default) in the ISD, do the following changes in the values.yaml. (The complete values.yaml is available at:

https://github.com/OpsMx/enterprise-spinnaker/tree/isd-spin-2025.08.00/charts/oes

Once enabled, Prometheus and Grafana gets installed along with ISD.

  1. Enable Centralized Monitoring by setting the following value to true in the following configuration.

# Centralized Monitoring Configuration
   enableCentralMonitoring: true

  1. Enable Open Telemetry by setting the following value to true in the following configuration.

openTelemetry: true #Set this to true for displaying metrics data in grafana

  1. Enable Grafana (grafana:enabled: true). Update the values for domain, root_url, adminPassword, and grafana host as given below:

grafana:
  adminUser: admin
  adminPassword: opsmxadmin123
  grafana.ini:
    server:
      domain: isd.cve.opsmx.net
      root_url: https://isd.cve.opsmx.net/grafana
      serve_from_sub_path: true
    security:
      allow_embedding: true
  username: nonadminuser   #Non-admin username for Grafana UI access
  password: opsmxpassword123  #Non-admin password for Grafana UI acess
  persistence:
    enabled: true
    accessModes:
      - ReadWriteOnce
    size: 10Gi
  ## Below is the block of code for Ingress
  grafana:
    enabled: true
    protocol: https
    host: grafana.cve.opsmx.net

    ingress:
      annotations:
        kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
      tls:
        secretName: grafana-ingress

  1. Enable Prometheus (prometheus:enabled: true) and also provide the host as given below:

#Prometheus URL configuration; url overwhich Prometheus will be accessed
  prometheus:
    enabled: true
    protocol: https
    host: prometheus.cve.opsmx.net
    ingress:
      annotations:
        kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
      tls: 
        secretName: prometheus-ingress

Post Installation

After installation, make the following changes before accessing the insights pages in ISD.

  1. Access Grafana using the URL specified in the values.yaml file. (eg: https://grafana.xxx/grafana).

You need to append “/grafana” to the URL specified in values.yaml (under grafana section “host”)

  1. Login to the Grafana URL with the given admin credentials as specified in values.yaml (eg: admin / opsmxadmin123)

  2. Create DataSource in Grafana by following the steps given below:

  • Click on the Toggle Menu and select Connections.

  • Select Prometheus → Add new data source.

  • Provide the Name and Prometheus server URL(eg: https://Prometheus).

  • Click Save.

  • You can see the generated UID in the browser URL (eg: bed11ea0-a802-4b67-9646-5d6f2194495f).

  • Take a copy of this DataSource UID to be replaced in the dashboard json file.

  1. Import the Dashboards in Grafana by following the steps given below:

  • Download the dashboard json files (pipelineinsights-dashboard.json and stageinsights-dashboard.json) from this link.

  • Replace the datasource-uid-for-isd-insights value with the DataSource UID captured in previous step (3)

  • Click on Toggle Menu and select Dashboards.

  • Click on New → select Import.

  • Click on Upload dashboard JSON file -> select the modified files and click Import.

  1. Create a non admin user (user with view_access) in Grafana.

Grafana non admin user credentials are used by ISD for auto login (when Pipeline Insights or Stage Insights page is accessed)

  • Click on the toggle button and select Administration.

  • Select Users → New User → enter the username and password (e.g. nonadminuser / opsmxpassword123 ) as provided in the values.yaml file during installation.

  • Click Create User.

  1. Grafana version is upgraded from 10.2.2 to 12.0.2

To disable the Insights feature in ISD

The insights feature can be disabled if not required. Do the following changes in the oes-ui-config and oes-audit-service-config files to disable Insights using Grafana feature in ISD.

You can find the path to the app-config file is from this link.

  1. oes-ui-config

"grafana_enabled": false,
"hide_pipeline_insights": false, 
"hide_stage_insights": true,  
"hide_deployment_insights": false,

"grafanaPipelineInsightsEndpoint": "https://isdhost/grafana/d/pipeline-insight/pipeinsights",
"grafanaStageInsightsEndpoint": "https://isdhost/grafana/d/stage-insight/stageinsights"
"grafanaDeploymentInsightsEndpoint":      
“https://isdhost//grafana/d/deployment-insights/deployment-insights"

  1. oes-audit-service-config

open-telemetry:
 enabled: false // should be true if we want enable grafana prometheus insights to the customer
 baseUrl: <PROTOCOL>://<ISD-URL> // isd url
 saporUrl: http://sapor-gate:8084 // sapor gate url

To configure existing Grafana / Prometheus for the Insights pages

  • Configure the existing grafana and prometheus URL's and set enableCentralMonitoring to false in the Values.yaml (existing URL's should be present in the same cluster).
