| ### Future plans | ||

| Since core resources like Dashboards, Folders, Data sources etc. will also use this new API style, we can keep the reconciliation logic generic and auto-generate schemas for supported core resources from the API specification. |

Sidenote: I do wonder how feasible generated schemas would be as it highly depends on what fields are immutable.
We have a few cases where we disallow the editing of fields via CEL validation for a better UX.
This might not be in scope for the upstream core resources.

We can always introduce additional steps in the generation logic as we'll need to add the instanceSelector etc anyways

It all looks good to me. Once we have an implementation draft, we can re-assess if anything needs to be adjusted, but it's certainly a good start :)

…4201) This PR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [grafana/grafana-operator](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator) | minor | `v5.21.4` → `v5.22.0` | --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>grafana/grafana-operator (grafana/grafana-operator)</summary> ### [`v5.22.0`](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/releases/tag/v5.22.0) [Compare Source](grafana/grafana-operator@v5.21.4...v5.22.0) <!-- Release notes generated using configuration in .github/release.yml at master --> We're happy to announce version 5.22.0 of the Grafana Operator! This release contains a bunch of new and exciting features like: - The brand new [`GrafanaManifest`](https://grafana.github.io/grafana-operator/docs/examples/manifests/) resource - This allows you to manage resources previously not supported by the operator but available through the new Kuberentes-style Grafana APIs (e.g Playlists, ShortURLs) as well as resources introduced by plugins (e.g. Frontend O11y configuration in Grafana Cloud). - Dynamic resource patching (currently only available to `GrafanaManifest` resources) - Patch resources with arbitrary `jq` scripts before submitting them to the Grafana API! - Alert rule groups have been updated to support more fields exposed by the Grafana API - Service accounts no longer require a name and will default to `metadata.name` #### Upgrade instructions ##### Using Helm ```sh # Upgrade the operator image & deployment helm upgrade -i grafana-operator oci://ghcr.io/grafana/helm-charts/grafana-operator --version 5.22.0 # Upgrading CRDs kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/releases/download/v5.22.0/crds.yaml ``` ##### Using kubectl ```sh # Namespace Scope kubectl replace -f https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/releases/download/v5.22.0/kustomize-namespace_scoped.yaml # Cluster Scope kubectl replace -f https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/releases/download/v5.22.0/kustomize-cluster_scoped.yaml ``` ##### Using kustomize ```sh flux pull artifact oci://ghcr.io/grafana/kustomize/grafana-operator:v5.22.0 --output ./grafana-operator/ ``` ##### Using OLM Releases are published to [operatorhub.io](https://operatorhub.io/operator/grafana-operator) as well as the OpenShift Operator Catalog. Depending on the installation, existing installations will either upgrade automatically or require approval from an administrator. #### What's Changed ##### Changes that might need your attention - chore(Helm): simplify helm chart by [@​Baarsgaard](https://github.com/Baarsgaard) in [#​2463](grafana/grafana-operator#2463) - We changed the default fallback for the cache strategy to `safe` instead of `off`. If you haven't explicitly set `enforceCacheLabels` to null, this does not affect you. ##### Features - feat(controllers): add new GrafanaManifest resource by [@​theSuess](https://github.com/theSuess) in [#​2448](grafana/grafana-operator#2448) - feat(GrafanaAlertRuleGroup): add support for targetDatasourceUid in recording rules by [@​RobertClarke64](https://github.com/RobertClarke64) in [#​2478](grafana/grafana-operator#2478) - feat(GrafanaAlertRuleGroup): add support for `active_time_intervals` in `notificationSettings` by [@​heliapb](https://github.com/heliapb) in [#​2479](grafana/grafana-operator#2479) - feat(GrafanaManifest): add support for dynamic resource patching by [@​theSuess](https://github.com/theSuess) in [#​2470](grafana/grafana-operator#2470) - feat(GrafanaServiceAccount): Make `.spec.name` optional by [@​Baarsgaard](https://github.com/Baarsgaard) in [#​2524](grafana/grafana-operator#2524) ##### Fixes - fix(GrafanaDashboard): update Grafana status even when remote state matches by [@​weisdd](https://github.com/weisdd) in [#​2440](grafana/grafana-operator#2440) - fix(AlertRuleGroup): skip reconciliation when there's no drift in remote state by [@​heliapb](https://github.com/heliapb) in [#​2439](grafana/grafana-operator#2439) - fix(GrafanaAlertRuleGroup): allow deprecated fields `dashboardUid` and `panelId` by [@​Baarsgaard](https://github.com/Baarsgaard) in [#​2450](grafana/grafana-operator#2450) - fix(logs): Leader election log format by [@​Baarsgaard](https://github.com/Baarsgaard) in [#​2466](grafana/grafana-operator#2466) - fix: add CRD validation for URLs in external grafana, dashboards, and library panels by [@​heliapb](https://github.com/heliapb) in [#​2446](grafana/grafana-operator#2446) - fix(GrafanaManifest): consider forbidden error as success when deleting manifests by [@​theSuess](https://github.com/theSuess) in [#​2468](grafana/grafana-operator#2468) - fix(helm): missing list namespaces permission with `watchNamespaceSelector` by [@​Baarsgaard](https://github.com/Baarsgaard) in [#​2465](grafana/grafana-operator#2465) - fix(Grafana): missing HTTPRoute backendRefs (alternative solution) by [@​weisdd](https://github.com/weisdd) in [#​2510](grafana/grafana-operator#2510) -

This PR drafts a proposal for a generic
GrafanaManifestresource.It's pretty minimal for now, but tbh I don't think we need much more
