Configure a Amazon Managed Grafana workspace

To change the configuration of a Grafana workspace using the Amazon Managed Grafana console

1. Open the Amazon Managed Grafana console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/grafana/.

2. In the left navigation pane, choose the menu icon.

3. Choose All workspaces.

4. Choose the name of the workspace that you want to configure. This opens the details for that workspace.

5. Choose the Workspace configuration options tab to see the instance configuration options for your instance.

6. Select Edit next to either Grafana alerting, Plugin management, or IP Address Type.

   • Grafana alerting

     You can enable Grafana alerting. To view Prometheus alerts in your Grafana workspace, select the check box to Turn Grafana alerting on. In workspaces running version 8 or 9, this will send multiple notifications for your Grafana alerts. If you use alerts defined in Grafana, we recommend updating your workspace to version 10.4 or later.

     If you want to the classic Grafana alerts instead, clear the check box next to Turn Grafana alerting on. This turns on the classic dashboard alerts. Even if you don't turn Grafana alerting on, your existing Grafana alerts are evaluated.

     Note

     Classic dashboard alerts have been removed in Grafana version 12. In version 12 workspaces, Grafana alerting is always enabled and the toggle is no longer available. For more information, see Migrating classic dashboard alerts to Grafana alerting.

   • Plugin management

     To turn on plugin management, select the check box to Turn plugin management on. Turning plugin management on allows admins in your Amazon Managed Grafana workspace to install, update, or remove plugins using the Grafana plugin catalog. This option is only available for workspaces that support Grafana version 9 or newer.

   • IP Address type

     Choose IPv4 only or Dual-stack mode. Your selection determines the addressing protocols that resources use to communicate with your workspace. Choose dual-stack mode when you have resources that must communicate with your workspace over IPv6. Dual-stack mode is available only for workspaces that support Grafana version 10 or later.

     Important

     Before enabling dual-stack mode, verify the following:

     • The sso.signin.aws domain is allowed in your network firewall and identity provider configurations.

     • Your network allows IPv6 traffic.

     • Any prefix lists used for network access control include the appropriate IP ranges.

     • If your identity provider uses CORS validation, the new domain is added to the CORS allowlist.

     • If your workspace uses a VPC configuration, your subnets must have IPv6 CIDR blocks assigned.

     Workspaces using direct SAML authentication or AWS Identity and Access Management Identity Center's built-in directory are not affected by the sign-in URL change. For more information, see Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) endpoints in the AWS Identity and Access Management Identity Center User Guide.

     If you later switch from dual-stack back to IPv4 only, any clients or resources currently connecting over IPv6 will lose access to your workspace.
