Really great you moved to the default grafana image and moving the customization to cephadm. This makes upgrading indeed easier.
The problem is that Grafana has a stranger release cycle and therefor not really compatible with release cycle of Ceph. This would mean one or two update(s) of the supported Grafana minor version. And maybe with every Ceph release, update to the latest bugfix release? I guess a bugfix version should always work with the same minor version of Grafana. The user can configure this via the provided tools for setting custom images. We're only talking about Grafana, but this applicable for all the extra container images. Thank you for all the hard work you're doing for the project!
