I am a free Grafana cloud plan user.

I want to enable anonymous access to my dashboard.

I searched many places and found they all talked about changing the config file in code. I cannot find where the config file is and it seems everyone talks about the config files and knows where it is located. Also found this official document talks about how to enable the anonymous access.

To me, it feels like I need to log into a console on the Grafana server, but I cannot find it.

How can I change the config file to enable anonymous access to my dashboard? Does it require a paid plan?

You don't have access to config file as free Grafana cloud user. Deploy own Grafana instance and then you will be able to customize config file.

  • thanks @Jan, so I need to purchase the service and then I can deploy my own Grafana instance, correct? – Franva Jul 19 '22 at 15:20
  • @Franva no need to purchase service. You can self service OSS version - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/ – Jan Garaj Jul 19 '22 at 15:42
  • so that mean I need to have a server to host and run the private instance of Grafana, correct? – Franva Jul 20 '22 at 13:20
  • @Franva: that is correct - when you download an OSS version of a product, it's just software, and you have to provide the backend server(s) on which it runs. That generally costs money, though some cloud providers offer short-term free tiers. – halfer Nov 13 '22 at 10:03

For anyone coming here from a search, my grafana.ini was in

/etc/grafana/grafana.ini

More info on the config file location here.
