    Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Migrate self-managed Grafana

    Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

    After you create a Grafana workspace, you can migrate your self-managed Grafana instance to it for centralized management.

    1. Log on to the ARMS console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Managed Service for Grafana > Workspace Management.

    2. On the Workspace Management page, click the ID of the workspace that you want to manage.

    3. In the left navigation pane, click Data Migration. On the Data Migration page, choose Create Migration Job > Migrate Self-managed Grafana.

    4. In the Create Migration Job dialog box, configure the following parameters and click Next.

      Parameter

      Description

      Authorization Method

      • admin: This method provides the highest permission level. The migration covers all dashboards and data sources across all organizations.

      • API key: This method grants permissions at the organization level. The migration covers only the dashboards and data sources in the organization associated with the API key.

      Grafana Endpoint

      The endpoint must include the full protocol and port. Example: https://my-grafana:3000.

      Admin Password

      The Admin authorization method requires you to enter the Admin password for your self-managed Grafana.

      API key

      The API key authorization method requires you to enter an API key.

      Note

      To create an API key, switch to the target organization in Grafana. Then, navigate to the Configuration > API keys page and click Add API key. Set the Role to admin to include data sources in the migration. If you do not use the admin role, only dashboards are migrated. For more information, see Create an API key.

    5. Select a migration method for each organization, and then click Start Migration.

      • Do not migrate this organization: Data sources and dashboards in this organization will not be migrated.

      • Create a new organization with the same name: This option creates an organization with the same name as the source and migrates the source's data sources and dashboards to the new organization.

      • An organization in the current workspace: Migrates data sources and dashboards from the source organization to a selected organization in the current workspace.

    6. After the migration is complete, click Go to the list page. The Dashboards page in Grafana opens, where you can view all migrated dashboards.
