Grafana Enterprise configuration
This page describes Grafana Enterprise-specific configuration options that you can specify in a .ini configuration file or using environment variables. Refer to Configuration for more information about available configuration options.

auto_refresh_license
Note: Available in Grafana Enterprise v7.4+.
When enabled, Grafana will send the license and usage statistics to
the license issuer. If the license has been updated on the issuer’s

your Grafana instance will be updated with the new terms
automatically. Defaults to true.
