Description

Starting on May 19, 2025 you can create and edit Grafana dashboards directly in the Azure Portal without any additional cost and less administrative overhead than self-hosting Grafana or using managed Grafana services. 

 

Grafana dashboards for Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) and dozens of other Azure resources are included and enabled by default. Additionally, you can import dashboards from thousands of publicly available Grafana community and open-source dashboards for Prometheus and Azure Monitor data sources. 

 

Built-in Grafana controls and capabilities allow users to apply a wide range of visualization panels and client-side transformations to Azure Monitor data (metrics, logs, traces and Azure Resource Graph) and Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus data. 

 

Dashboards with Grafana are fully compatible with open-source Grafana dashboards and portable across any Grafana instances. Each dashboard is an Azure resource that fully supports Azure RBAC.
