cluster: support detaching Grafana instances - #2750
An independently maintained Grafana instance remains in TiUP's managed topology. A later cluster upgrade or reload can overwrite its binary or configuration, while stop and destroy still treat it as a managed component. Operators need an explicit handoff that preserves the running instance.
What is changed and how it works?
Add tiup cluster detach-grafana <cluster-name> -N <host:port>[,<host:port>...]. Validate every requested node, pending two-stage scale-out state, and known directory overlaps before removing the selected Grafana instances from local metadata. The command makes no node SSH or PD requests, and bypasses unrelated SSH proxy initialization.
Check recorded deploy/data/log paths, Grafana path overrides, exporter paths and TiFlash cache paths in the current local cluster profile. Default sibling directories on a shared host are supported. Reject ambiguous paths and shell expressions that cannot be checked safely.
Preserve an existing /topology/grafana record when the input topology has no managed Grafana. Remaining or newly added managed Grafana instances still determine the entry on later refreshes; normal scale-in of the last managed instance still deletes it. Prometheus and Alertmanager behavior is unchanged.
Add manager/task unit tests, real CLI subprocess tests, and a dedicated Docker lifecycle case wired into CI.
The empty-Grafana behavior also retains a pre-existing discovery record in clusters that already have no managed Grafana. Detach does not recreate or validate that record. Operators must finish other TiUP changes before detaching and take responsibility for Grafana configuration, dashboards, datasources and health monitoring, including exporters on hosts no longer managed by this cluster. The local path check cannot inspect remote mounts, symlinks or unrecorded configuration; there is no automatic reattach or resource reservation.
Two pre-existing lint findings are also normalized: an import alias and an equivalent tagged switch.
Check List
Tests
Unit test
Integration test
Validation:
make cluster, full make test (including the client submodule), make lint, and make check-static passed with Go 1.25.12. The full test run used an environment without NO_COLOR, as an existing FORCE_COLOR test assumes it is unset.
Docker test_detach_grafana passed against TiDB v8.5.6 -> v8.5.7 with the bundled Grafana v7.5.17. It verifies subset/full handoff, discovery retention and replacement, normal scale-in deletion, Prometheus target changes, and unchanged Grafana PIDs/static file hashes through start, reload, upgrade and cluster destroy. Detached services and exporters are explicitly cleaned up afterward.
git diff --check and shell syntax checks passed. The existing TLS/scale suites were not rerun locally; the workflow retains them.

Release notes:
Support handing over Grafana instances with `tiup cluster detach-grafana` while preserving their running services and remote files
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a detach-grafana command to remove selected Grafana instances from cluster metadata. Detaching does not stop instances or contact remote hosts; review the warnings and confirm before proceeding.
Added safeguards that reject invalid selections and conflicting directory paths.
Bug Fixes
Prevented topology updates from deleting Grafana metadata when no Grafana instances are configured.
Tests
Added integration coverage for Grafana detachment and related cluster operations.

Walkthrough
The change adds a detach-grafana command that removes selected Grafana instances from cluster metadata without stopping remote services or changing remote files. It validates directory paths, updates Grafana discovery handling, and adds CLI and integration tests.
Changes: Grafana Detachment
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Manager detachment and path validation pkg/cluster/manager/detach_grafana.go, pkg/cluster/manager/detach_grafana_dirs.go, pkg/cluster/manager/detach_grafana_test.go
Manager.DetachGrafana validates selected Grafana IDs and directory paths, requests confirmation when needed, and saves metadata. Tests cover successful detachments, rejected inputs, and path conflicts.
CLI command and registration components/cluster/command/detach_grafana.go, components/cluster/command/root.go, components/cluster/command/detach_grafana_test.go
The root command registers detach-grafana and skips SSH proxy startup for it. The CLI passes the cluster, selected nodes, and confirmation option to the manager. Subprocess tests cover arguments, errors, confirmation, and metadata results.
When the configured Grafana instance list is empty, topology updates leave existing Grafana discovery information unchanged. Tests cover the empty-list case and component topology updates.
Integration scenario and workflow tests/tiup-cluster/script/detach_grafana.sh, tests/tiup-cluster/test_detach_grafana.sh, tests/tiup-cluster/topo/detach_grafana*.yaml, .github/workflows/integrate-cluster-scale.yaml
The integration scenario checks detach behavior across refresh, reload, upgrade, scale-out, scale-in, and destroy. The workflow matrix includes the new test case.

SELinux check and import alias pkg/cluster/operation/check.go, pkg/cluster/task/download.go
CheckSELinuxStatus uses a switch while retaining the existing status results. The logger printer import now uses the logprinter alias.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 8f82f
Detaching Grafana is meant to leave the detached instances' files untouched. At present, a malformed path in another instance's metadata could bypass the directory-safety check, and destroying that cluster could later delete the detached Grafana's files. One integration test also does not reliably fail when a detached instance is still listed. Fix the path validation before merging.

Explanation
The title "cluster: support detaching Grafana instances" matches the main change. The PR adds the tiup cluster detach-grafana command, which removes selected Grafana instances from TiUP's managed metadata while leaving them running. The title is short, specific, and follows the component-prefix convention.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description fills in the problem statement, the change details, the test checklist (unit and integration tests), the validation commands, and the release note. It follows the repository template structure. The code-change checklist marks exported method change and persistent data change. Side-effects and related changes are marked. The release note is filled in and does not use NONE. The issue link is absent, and the 'close #xxx' line from the template was removed without replacement. This is a minor gap that does not affect the overall completeness.

Validate Grafana detach paths before spec.Abs cleans them.
The detach check validates the output of spec.Abs, which runs filepath.Clean. For a remaining instance with log_dir set to /srv/grafana /../pd-log, Clean removes grafana and .. and leaves /srv/pd-log. The whitespace and shell-metacharacter check and the overlap check with /srv/grafana then see the cleaned value and pass.
The raw value remains in the cluster metadata. pkg/cluster/operation/destroy.go inserts ins.LogDir() into delPaths and emits rm -rf without quoting. When that cluster is destroyed, the shell can delete /srv/grafana, which holds the detached Grafana files.
Validate each raw deploy and log path for whitespace, shell metacharacters, and absolute form before spec.Abs or filepath.Clean runs. Use the cleaned value only for the overlap comparison. Add a regression case for /srv/grafana /../pd-log to the detach tests.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Make the negative display checks fail explicitly.
If grep finds a detached instance, ! grep returns a failure status. However, Bash exempts commands prefixed with ! from set -e, so execution continues. These checks can therefore accept a display that still lists a detached instance.
Use an explicit conditional that returns 1 when either instance remains in the display.
