I am using Grafana on Windows and keep getting the same error

I have my credentials file in C:\users%USER%.aws. This works for AWS SDK calls directly. Not sure what this error is saying. I have tried explicitly defining the path to the credentials and leaving the credentials blank.

Have you tried using the Access & Secret key option instead? Might be easier than trying to figure out the problems with a local file.
