Gitea integration for Grafana Cloud

Before you begin

In order for the integration to work, on Gitea instance you need to configure metrics section to enable /metrics endpoint:

ini Copy

[metrics]
ENABLED=true

In order to see issues stats grouped by repositores and labels, Gitea 1.16.0 or above is required with the following flags set:

ini Copy

[metrics]
ENABLED=true
ENABLED_ISSUE_BY_REPOSITORY=true
ENABLED_ISSUE_BY_LABEL=true

Install Gitea integration for Grafana Cloud

1. In your Grafana Cloud stack, click Connections in the left-hand menu.
2. Find Gitea and click its tile to open the integration.
3. Review the prerequisites in the Configuration Details tab and set up Grafana Agent to send Gitea metrics to your Grafana Cloud instance.
4. Click Install to add this integration’s pre-built dashboard to your Grafana Cloud instance, and you can start monitoring your Gitea setup.

Configuration snippets for Grafana Alloy

Simple mode

These snippets are configured to scrape a single Gitea instance running locally with default ports.

Copy and paste the following snippets into your Grafana Alloy configuration file.

Metrics snippets

river Copy

discovery.relabel "metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea" {
	targets = [{
		__address__ = "localhost:3000",
	}]

	rule {
		target_label = "instance"
		replacement  = constants.hostname
	}
}

prometheus.scrape "metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea" {
	targets    = discovery.relabel.metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea.output
	forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.metrics_service.receiver]
	job_name   = "integrations/gitea"
}

Advanced mode

The following snippets provide examples to guide you through the configuration process.

To instruct Grafana Alloy to scrape your Gitea instances, copy and paste the snippets to your configuration file and follow subsequent instructions.

Advanced metrics snippets

river Copy

discovery.relabel "metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea" {
	targets = [{
		__address__ = "localhost:3000",
	}]

	rule {
		target_label = "instance"
		replacement  = constants.hostname
	}
}

prometheus.scrape "metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea" {
	targets    = discovery.relabel.metrics_integrations_integrations_gitea.output
	forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.metrics_service.receiver]
	job_name   = "integrations/gitea"
}

To monitor your Gitea instance, you must use a discovery.relabel component to discover your Gitea Prometheus endpoint and apply appropriate labels, followed by a prometheus.scrape component to scrape it.

Configure the following properties within each discovery.relabel component:

• __address__: The address to your Gitea Prometheus metrics endpoint.
• instance label: constants.hostname sets the instance label to your Grafana Alloy server hostname. If that is not suitable, change it to a value uniquely identifies this Gitea instance.

If you have multiple Gitea servers to scrape, configure one discovery.relabel for each and scrape them by including each under targets within the prometheus.scrape component.

Post-install configuration for the Gitea integration

After enabling the metrics generation, instruct Grafana Agent to scrape your Gitea nodes.

Gitea exposes a /metrics endpoint. To scrape it, add the snippet above to your agent configuration file.

Make sure to change targets in the snippet according to your environment.

Configuration snippets for Grafana Agent

Below metrics.configs.scrape_configs, insert the following lines and change the URLs according to your environment:

yaml Copy

    - job_name: integrations/gitea
      relabel_configs:
        - replacement: '<your-instance-name>'
          target_label: instance
      static_configs:
        - targets: ['localhost:3000']
