Hi,
I have installed Grafana version 4.1.1 on an AWS EC2 instance. I want to configure the grafana server to upload images to S3 (for alerts & chat), and I want to avoid configuring in a SecretKey & AccessKey (instead having grafana pick it up from the Ec2Metadata service).
From looking at the s3uploader code, I can see that it already includes the use of a ChainCredential construct to chain the StaticProvider → EnvProvider → Ec2RoleProvider.
Doesnt this mean that if the AccessKey and SecretKey are not provided the authentication should chain down to using the EC2RoleProvider?
What I am observing though is:
- if I do not specify the Secret & Access keys, then the image upload fails indicating that those configurations are not provided
- if I give an incorrect value for the Secret & Access key, then the authentication to AWS fails indicating invalid access key.
My question: How do I force/specify grafana to use the Ec2MetadataProvider to authenticate to AWS?
Thanks,
Sujit.
