Amazon Managed Grafana announces a new self-service plugin management experience for Grafana community plugins, that enables you to unify data from a wider variety of data sources with visualizations tailored to analyze your unique datasets. Grafana community plugins provide an expansive array of tailor-made solutions to address diverse visualization use cases. With this release, Amazon Managed Grafana 9.4 and above versions will support discovery and installation of plugins from over three hundred pre-built Grafana plugins, directly from your workspace.

Plugins

Grafana plugins enhance user experience with a wide range of functionalities such as querying data from a new data source for better insights and improved visualizations of that data. Broadly, there are three types of plugins and Amazon Managed Grafana supports all of them.

  • Panel plugin: add new visualizations to your dashboard
  • Datasource plugin: connect to a new database or other external source of data
  • App plugin: an integrated out-of-the-box experience, often bundling data sources and panels
