Amazon Aurora data source for Grafana

The Amazon Aurora data source lets you query and visualize data from your Amazon Aurora clusters in Grafana. The plugin supports both PostgreSQL-compatible and MySQL-compatible Aurora engines, and connects to your cluster using AWS IAM database authentication, so you don't store database passwords in Grafana.

This data source is currently in public preview.

Note: The Amazon Aurora data source is an Enterprise plugin. It's available with a Grafana Cloud Pro or Advanced plan and Grafana Enterprise.

Features

• Query Aurora PostgreSQL-compatible and MySQL-compatible engines with a full SQL editor.
• Authenticate with AWS IAM database authentication using access keys, a credentials file, or the AWS SDK default provider, with optional role assumption.
• Format results as table or time series data, with support for time filter macros such as $__timeFilter.
• Use query results to populate dashboard template variables.
• Create Grafana Alerting rules based on Aurora queries.
• Connect to private clusters with private data source connect (PDC) on Grafana Cloud.
• Provision data sources with YAML or Terraform.

Requirements

• Grafana 9.4.0 or later. Private data source connect requires Grafana 10.0 or later.
• An Amazon Aurora cluster with IAM database authentication enabled.
• A database user configured for IAM authentication, and AWS credentials with the rds-db:connect permission.
