Does the Cloudwatch data source with hosted Grafana?

Hi,

I have a single hosted grafana org. I also have a bunch of AWS resources I would like to track.

Can I use the Cloudwatch app without having a locally hosted instance?

Hi,

Yes. See Unable to create datasource on Hosted grafana for a similar question.

Thank you.

Can you point me to documentation on how to host a Grafana instance in AWS and connect to it externally?

I am not having great luck finding something on this seemingly easy task…

Hi,

I have no personal experience with that. But given you have a server you should be able to follow installation instructions to start with.

But a quick google gave me this for example. It has a few years on its neck so don’t take it for granted. But you should be able to find instructions out there.
