What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
- Grafana version: 10.2.0
- Operating system: Ubuntu (running in an AKS pod)
- Browser: Chrome
What are you trying to achieve?
We are trying to add CloudWatch as a datasource in Grafana.
How are you trying to achieve it?
By configuring Grafana in a closed network environment, we are opening required domains or IP ranges in the firewall to enable external communication with CloudWatch.
What happened?
The environment is in a closed network that requires external communication policies to be explicitly defined in the firewall. While attempting to add CloudWatch as a datasource, we realized we need specific URLs or IPs to include in the firewall policy.
We have already added sts.amazonaws.com and account.amazonaws.com to the firewall policy but are unsure whether we need to add *.amazonaws.com or amazonaws.com.
What did you expect to happen?
CloudWatch should be successfully added as a datasource after the required domains or IP ranges are opened in the firewall.
Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
This issue is related to the external communication policy, and there is no specific Grafana configuration to include at this time.
Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
No errors have been encountered in Grafana. The issue is related to external network policies for accessing CloudWatch.
Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
We have referred to AWS documentation and are simultaneously seeking support from AWS to clarify the required domains or IP ranges for CloudWatch access.
Additional Information
The environment is a closed network where external communication requires explicit domain/IP whitelisting. We need guidance on whether adding *.amazonaws.com or amazonaws.com is necessary, or if the currently added domains (sts.amazonaws.com and account.amazonaws.com) are sufficient to enable CloudWatch in Grafana.
Thank you for your assistance!
