AWS Managed Grafana

​

Prerequisites

• An AWS account with an Amazon Managed Grafana workspace.
• An IAM user with grafana:* permissions (or an IAM role for cross-account access).
• Your workspace must have CloudWatch and/or Amazon Managed Prometheus configured as data sources.

​

Steps

1. If you don’t have a workspace yet, go to the Amazon Managed Grafana console and click Create workspace. Enable CloudWatch, X-Ray, and optionally Amazon Managed Prometheus as data sources.
2. Create an IAM user (e.g., obsy-grafana-access) with this policy:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "grafana:*",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:grafana:*:*:/workspaces/*"
    }
  ]
}

3. Create an access key for the IAM user (Security credentials → Create access key → Third-party service).
4. In Obsy, go to Integrations, find the AWS Managed Grafana card, and click Connect.
5. Enter:
   • Region — where your workspace is deployed (e.g., us-east-1)
   • Workspace ID — starts with g- (found in the AMG console)
   • Access Key ID and Secret Access Key — from the IAM user
   • AMP Workspace ID (optional) — if using Amazon Managed Prometheus (starts with ws-)
6. Click Test Connection then Save.
