systemd for grafana

[bngsudheer]

I am surprised that systemd unit file is not present for Grafana on CentOS.

Can we have https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/packaging/rpm/systemd/grafana-server.service?

I would be glad to send a PR.

That is strange. I've just tried to reproduce this error in centos docker container, but I see the service file present when installed from official grafana package (which is used by this role).

Steps I've taken:

1. docker run -it centos bash
2. yum install -y epel-release
3. yum install -y https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/grafana-releases/release/grafana-5.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm (from: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/rpm/#install-stable)
4. cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/grafana-server.service

Last step produced this output:

Which is the same file as https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/packaging/rpm/systemd/grafana-server.service.

Could you provide more explanaition how you came to conclusion that there is no service file on CentOS so we could start working towards solving this problem?

I will investigate and update the ticket. Thanks for the quick response.

For some reason it gets stuck at this step:
TASK [cloudalchemy.grafana : Wait for grafana to start]

[bngsudheer]

It turns out systemd unit file is present but unit is not started. My bad, I didn't see it. I sent a PR: #37

Thanks for PR 👍

I'm closing this, if you'll need more help just reopen this issue or write another.
