GA release of Grafana Assume Role for CloudWatch and Athena

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Data sources
Release date: 2025-07-16

Grafana Assume Role is now Generally Available (GA) for CloudWatch and Athena data sources! Grafana Assume Role allows you to authenticate with AWS without having to create and maintain long-term AWS users or rotate their access and secret keys. Instead, you can create an IAM role that has permissions to access CloudWatch or Athena and a trust relationship with Grafana’s AWS account. Grafana’s AWS account then makes an STS request to AWS to create temporary credentials to access your AWS data. More information can be found in the AWS authentication docs.

New and improved Reporting

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview Enterprise Available in public preview Dashboards and visualizations Reporting
Release date: 2025-06-24

We’ve redesigned the Reporting feature to make the report creation process simpler and more intuitive!

Key updates include:

  • Creating reports from dashboards while maintaining dashboard context
  • One-page report creation
  • Easy access to organization report settings

When you click Share > Schedule report from a dashboard, a drawer opens where you can complete the entire report form. With this change, you’re no longer taken out of the dashboard, but instead maintain your original context. If other reports include this dashboard, they are also listed in the drawer, helping to reduce duplication of efforts.
