Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
access string	Choices: direct proxy ←	The access mode for this datasource.
additional_json_data dictionary	Default: {}	Defined data is used for datasource jsonData Data may be overridden by specifically defined parameters (like zabbix_user)
additional_secure_json_data dictionary	Default: {}	Defined data is used for datasource secureJsonData Data may be overridden by specifically defined parameters (like tls_client_cert) Stored as secure data, see `enforce_secure_data` and notes!
aws_access_key string	Default: ""	AWS access key for CloudWatch datasource type when `aws_auth_type` is `keys`
aws_assume_role_arn string	Default: ""	AWS IAM role arn to assume for CloudWatch datasource type when `aws_auth_type` is `arn`
aws_auth_type string	Choices: keys ← credentials arn	Type for AWS authentication for CloudWatch datasource type (authType of grafana api)
aws_credentials_profile string	Default: ""	Profile for AWS credentials for CloudWatch datasource type when `aws_auth_type` is `credentials`
aws_custom_metrics_namespaces string	Default: ""	Namespaces of Custom Metrics for CloudWatch datasource type

aws_secret_key string	Default: ""	AWS secret key for CloudWatch datasource type when `aws_auth_type` is `keys`
basic_auth_password string		The datasource basic auth password, when `basic auth` is `yes`.
basic_auth_user string		The datasource basic auth user. Setting this option with basic_auth_password will enable basic auth.
client_cert path		PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required
client_key path		PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.
database string		Name of the database for the datasource. This options is required when the `ds_type` is `influxdb`, `elasticsearch` (index name), `mysql` or `postgres`.
ds_type string / required	Choices: graphite prometheus elasticsearch influxdb opentsdb mysql postgres cloudwatch alexanderzobnin-zabbix-datasource sni-thruk-datasource camptocamp-prometheus-alertmanager-datasource loki	The type of the datasource.

is_default boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Make this datasource the default one.
max_concurrent_shard_requests integer	Default: 256	Starting with elasticsearch 5.6, you can specify the max concurrent shard per requests.
name string / required		The name of the datasource.
org_id integer	Default: 1	Grafana Organisation ID in which the datasource should be created. Not used when `grafana_api_key` is set, because the `grafana_api_key` only belong to one organisation.

tls_client_cert string		The client TLS certificate. If `tls_client_cert` and `tls_client_key` are set, this will enable TLS authentication. Starts with ----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ----- Stored as secure data, see `enforce_secure_data` and notes!
tls_client_key string		The client TLS private key Starts with ----- BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY ----- Stored as secure data, see `enforce_secure_data` and notes!
tls_skip_verify boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Skip the TLS datasource certificate verification.
trends boolean	Choices: no yes	Use trends or not for zabbix datasource type.
tsdb_resolution string	Choices: millisecond second ←	The opentsdb time resolution.
tsdb_version integer	Choices: 1 2 3 Default: 1	The opentsdb version. Use `1` for <=2.1, `2` for ==2.2, `3` for ==2.3.
url string / required		The Grafana URL. aliases: grafana_url
url_password string	Default: "admin"	The Grafana password for API authentication. aliases: grafana_password
url_username string	Default: "admin"	The Grafana user for API authentication. aliases: grafana_user
use_proxy boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
user string		The datasource login user for influxdb datasources.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
with_credentials boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether credentials such as cookies or auth headers should be sent with cross-site requests.
zabbix_password string		Password for Zabbix API
zabbix_user string		User for Zabbix API

Notes

Note

Secure data will get encrypted by the Grafana API, thus it can not be compared on subsequent runs. To workaround this, secure data will not be updated after initial creation! To force the secure data update you have to set enforce_secure_data=True.
Hint, with the enforce_secure_data always reporting changed=True, you might just do one Task updating the datasource without any secure data and make a separate playbook/task also changing the secure data. This way it will not break any workflow.
