Prerequisites

To use the AWS managed policies for Amazon Managed Grafana, complete the following tasks before you configure the Amazon Redshift data source:

• Tag your Amazon Redshift cluster with GrafanaDataSource: true. Otherwise, it won't be accessible.

• Create the database credentials in one of the following mutually exclusive ways:

  • If you want to use the default mechanism (the temporary credentials options) to authenticate against the Redshift database, you must create a database user named redshift_data_api_user.

  • If you want to use the credentials from Secrets Manager, you must tag the secret with RedshiftQueryOwner: true. For more information, see Identity-based policy examples in Amazon Managed Grafanain this guide.
