Let your agents work with your Grafana instance: search dashboards and folders, read a dashboard, list data sources, read and add annotations, review alert rules and firing alerts, create folders and silences, and list users and teams.

Connection

  • Authentication: API key (Grafana service account token).
  • Required settings:
    • Grafana instance domain — The domain of your Grafana, without https:// nor path (e.g. mystack.grafana.net or grafana.example.com). Grafana must be served over HTTPS at the root of this domain.
In Grafana (organization administrator required): Administration → Users and access → Service accounts → Add service account, enter a Display name, choose its role and click Create. Then open that service account → Add service account token → enter a name (optionally Set expiration date) → Generate token, and copy the token (it is shown only once). Role: Viewer covers searching and reading dashboards, folders, annotations and alerts; Editor adds creating folders, annotations and silences; listing data sources, organization users and teams requires Admin. On Grafana Cloud, also note the instance ID (grafana.com → your stack → Details of the Grafana instance): agents need it to read dashboards and folders.See Grafana’s documentation.
