Prerequisites

Manually adding the Athena data source

Prerequisites

  • The AWS CLI is installed and configured in your environment.

  • You have access to Amazon Athena from your account.

To manually add the Athena data source:

  1. In the Grafana console side menu, pause on the Configuration (gear) icon, then choose Data Sources.

  2. Choose Add data source.

  3. Choose the AWS Athena data source. If necessary, you can start typing Athena in the search box to help you find it.

  4. In Connection Details menu, configure the authentication provider (recommended: Workspace IAM Role)

  5. Select your targeted Athena data source, database, and workgroup.

    To create a new Athena account, follow the instructions at Getting started with Athena.

  6. If your workgroup doesn't have an output location configured already, specify an S3 bucket and folder to use for query results. For example, s3://grafana-athena-plugin-test-data/query-result-output/ .

  7. Select Save & Test.

The following is an example of the Athena Details settings.
