Azure Managed Grafana Essential SKU will be retired on March 30, 2027.
Customers using the Essential SKU are encouraged to transition to Azure Managed Grafana Standard SKU or Azure Monitor Dashboards with Grafana before the retirement date to avoid service disruption, including loss of access to dashboards.
From now until March 30, 2027, existing Essential SKU resources can continue to be used without disruption. On the retirement date, all Azure Managed Grafana instances using the Essential SKU will be deleted.
This retirement helps simplify the Azure Managed Grafana offering and provides customers with access to a more reliable alternative with feature parity. Migration guidance is available in the Azure portal and product documentation.
