Hi All, this document deals with how to configure pdf exported in grafana Using this opensource application developed by IzakMarais , we achieved exporting pdf reports from the grafana server. Here are the following steps to follow.
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
Download and install the pdf reporter application
go get github.com/IzakMarais/reporter/...
go install -v github.com/IzakMarais/reporter/cmd/grafana-reporter
Now start the application by using below command
/root/go/bin/grafana-reporter
Now go to server admin- API keys and create a new key with viewer privileges. save the token id as it’s required for next step
Now goto Grafana and choose a dashboard which you need to export into pdf. Goto setting of the dashboard and select add new option from the links tab, configure as below
Type: Link Url: http://{FQDN neteye server}:8686/api/v5/report/{dashboardUID}?apitoken={tokenid}
Title: PDF Tooltip: Generate a PDF of this Dashboard Icon: doc, to be an icon of a document. Time range: I put mark to allow periods of time. Variable values: Mark it to play with dates. Open in a new tab: We mark if we want the PDF to generate it in a new tab.
Then save and continue.
Open the dashboard now you can see the there is an icon for exporting pdf reports.
Here are the parameters supported by pdf exporter

Hi,
can you please clear two thing, what is below url value would be?
FQDN neteye server -> What is this fqdn
dashboardUID -> how will get this
you can get the dashboard ID from the browser URL which you navigate to any grafana dashboard.
the FQDN is the IP or hostname of the reporter tool got installed.
