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.

:::caution 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.
