Setup OS Grafana

1. Get the Grafana Instance Address​

Navigate to the AWS CloudFormation Console and fetch the GrafanaInstanceAddress output from the os-observability stack.

Open the Grafana link in your browser. The default credentials are admin/admin. Please change the password after the first login.

2. Set Prometheus Workspace as Data Source​

Connect the Prometheus workspace with the Grafana dashboard by setting it as a data source.

  1. Navigate to "Data Sources" in Grafana and select "Prometheus".

  2. Set the "Prometheus server URL" with the value retrieved from the AWS console.

Important

Don't forget to remove the /api/v1/query part of the URL. The correct URL format is: https://aps-workspaces.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/workspaces/ws-123456-1234-1234-1234/

  1. For authentication:

    • Choose "SigV4"
    • Set "Authentication Provider" to "AWS SDK Default"
    • Set "Default Region" to us-west-2

  2. Click "Save & Test" to verify the connection.

Once the datasource configuration test has passed, you can advance to building dashboards.
