Rendering: Default auth mode changed to use JWTs
Rendering: Default auth mode changed to use JWTs
Previously, the Image Renderer authenticated with Grafana instances by using opaque tokens stored in the Grafana database in order to navigate to panels and dashboards to generate screenshots and PDFs.
In Grafana v13.0, we’ve enabled the renderAuthJWT feature toggle by default, which uses stateless JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) that don’t depend on the database, instead.
You can still enable to the previous behavior by disabling the feature toggle in your Grafana configuration file:
[feature_toggles]
renderAuthJWT = falseAction Required
If you don’t disable this feature toggle manually, you need to set a [rendering]renderer_token in your Grafana configuration file that isn’t empty or the default value (-), and set the authentication token in your Image Renderer configuration to that same value.
For more information, refer to the Image Renderer security configuration documentation.
