Connecting to Grafana

Grafana uses token authentication to control access to the API.

Using Token Authentication

In order to authenticate to Grafana, you'll need to provide your API Key. To create your API Key, in your Grafana account, open the sidemenu and click the organization dropdown and select the API Keys option. Additionally, you will need to set the Domain, found in the url of your Grafana account. For example if your Grafana url is https://acmeinc.grafana.net/, then the Domain should be 'acmeinc'. Set both the API Key and Domain in the ProfileSettings property to connect.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Grafana.apip;ProfileSettings='Domain=acmeinc;APIKey=my_api_key';
