New users don't default to login page

Grafana Configuration

Hi,

When I go to my grafana OSS link, I don’t default to the login page, but instead this:

probably changed something in my grafana.ini file.

Does somebody know?

I guess you enabled anonymous access.

I did, but I need it to access my grafana through an iframe without logging in, can’t I enable something where you need to login through the regular link (localhost:3000) and you don’t have to login into the iframe?

IMHO this logic is impossible in standard Boolean logic.

Yeah…

What are your thaughts on this:

Running into a lot of walls with the anonymous authorisation lately. We want to display dashboards on a webpage so we can have a professional looking platfrom for our clients to look at their data from their machines.

Where I’m at now:
I access the dashboards via iframe and I force a kiosk mode inside the iframe so the page looks really clean and the client can only access THEIR dashboards. (i run a script that doesn’t allow escaping out of kiosk mode). I also fixed the inspect element problem where you can just simple take out the “?kiosk” part in the iframe src link and access everything in grafana. I got a script working that check the src every second and sticks ?kiosk at the end of the link again if it isn’t there.

Then comes the default page instead of login page problem (when navigating to the plain grafana link with anonymous authorisation on). People can just visit the link and look at every dashboard on the grafana instance.

Working with different grafana organisations is also not a possibility because I haven’t fixed loging into the iframe (I just get takes back to an empty login page after a succesfull login) and even when you could login, the grafana is not in kiosk mode.

The only solution I see now is to run different AWS instances with different grafana instances for every client, which seems really cumbersome.

Do you know how I could fix the login via the iframe?
Maybe after logging in I could fix some backend magic for kiosk mode?

Or do you know another solution for my problem?

What stopping me to open iframe in new tab and then your whole “security” will be gone :smiley:

Don’t iframe Grafana. Create own “cool” front-end on top of your metrics.

Any idea on what to use for my own “cool” visualizations?

My (poor) frontend opinion:

  • Vue/Vuetify for UI
  • some D3js based lib for charts
