Hi,

Thanks for providing the details. I will get back to you once I have more information on this.

According to the official documentation. It is available under the Explore button.

There you run your desired query and have its complete history.

Let me know if this helps you.

Hi,

thanks for the feedback.

I don’t see anything in the page

Could it be related to the fact that we don’t use grafana authentication (the access is protected by another component) ? Before, anyone could have access to “query history”

Hi @bmm_alc

Ok, now I understand and after investigation we found that this is an expected behavior as the documentation do says that “It requires that the user is logged in”

For e.g. if you go at https://play.grafana.org/

There you will see that the query history option is not visible as it needs a login.

Hope this answer your question.
