Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source

The Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source plugin lets you query and visualize metrics from Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus in Grafana. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) is a Prometheus-compatible, fully managed service that monitors and provides alerts on containerized applications and infrastructure at scale.

This plugin includes all the features of the core Grafana Prometheus data source, with AWS-specific Signature Version 4 (SigV4) authentication built into the configuration page.

Migrate from core Prometheus to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus

SigV4 authentication is deprecated in the core Prometheus data source. If you use the core Prometheus data source with SigV4 authentication, migrate to the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source.

In Grafana 13, this migration is automatic. Data sources that use SigV4 authentication are migrated to the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus plugin on startup, and your dashboards, alerts, and queries continue to work without changes. For migration steps, how to check migration status, and rollback instructions, refer to Migrate from Prometheus SigV4 to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus.

Update dashboards and alerts

If you add a new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source instead of relying on the automatic migration, update your existing dashboards and alert rules to use the new data source:

Get the UID of your existing Prometheus data source that uses SigV4.
Get the UID of your new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source.
Update dashboards to use the new data source UID.
Update alert rules. Export the provisioning files and update the data source in the model, or create new alert rules.
Recreate any correlations.
Recreate any recorded queries.

Pre-built dashboards

The plugin includes the following pre-built dashboards that you can import to monitor Prometheus and Grafana itself:

Prometheus Stats
Prometheus 2.0 Stats
Grafana Stats

To import a pre-built dashboard:

Click Connections in the left-side menu.
Under Connections, click Data sources.
Select your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source.
Click the Dashboards tab.
Click Import next to the dashboard you want to use.

Additional features

After you configure the data source, you can:

Use Explore to query data without building a dashboard.
Add transformations to manipulate query results.
Set up alerting rules.

Plugin updates

Always ensure that your plugin version is up-to-date so you have access to all current features and improvements. Navigate to Plugins and data > Plugins to check for updates. Grafana recommends upgrading to the latest Grafana version, and this applies to plugins as well.
