Azure Managed Grafana Dashboard Insights

Question

Azure Managed Grafana Dashboard Insights

Javier Huamani 100

Hi, is it possible to query the Dashboard Insights data within an Azure Managed Grafana workspace? Currently we have several dashboards within our workspaces and we'd like to track viewership, queries runtime, errors, etc. We can see this data displayed per dashboard by selecting Dashboard Insights, but would like to store this data in a storage account or find an alternate way to query it.

Hello Javier Huamani

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.

Azure Managed Grafana exposes dashboard usage telemetry through Azure Monitor Diagnostic settings when Grafana Usage Insights Events is enabled.

These events are ingested into Log Analytics under the AGSGrafanaUsageInsightsEvents table and include dashboard ID, dashboard name, query executions, cached queries, duration, and datasource information.

The Dashboard Insights UI in Grafana shows aggregated summaries (for example, daily query counts, cached vs non‑cached queries, and error trends). These UI summaries are not stored as a separate table and are derived from the raw usage events.

To perform custom reporting, customers can query AGSGrafanaUsageInsightsEvents using KQL and recreate the desired aggregations.

Thanks,
Suchitra.

We were able to go into Diagnostic settings and capture Login and Usage Insight Events onto our Log Analytics Workspace like so:

From the Log analytics workspace we were able to access the AGSGrafanaUsageInsightsEvents table which has all the usage data we needed:

Hello Javier Huamani

Thanks for the update.

Azure Managed Grafana does expose dashboard usage telemetry through Azure Monitor diagnostic settings. When Grafana Usage Insights Events is enabled on the Managed Grafana workspace, the data is sent to Log Analytics and can be queried from the AGSGrafanaUsageInsightsEvents table. This includes dashboard usage events, query executions, cached queries, duration, and datasource details.

The Dashboard Insights page in the Grafana UI (daily query count, cached queries, errors over last 30 days) shows aggregated summaries rendered by Grafana. These UI summaries are not stored as a separate pre‑aggregated table, but they are derived from the underlying usage events that are available in Log Analytics. Similar views can be recreated using KQL.

Thank You.

Today there isn’t a “queryable table/API” for Dashboard Insights in Azure Managed Grafana that you can pull into Storage/Log Analytics as-is. Grafana’s usage/insights data is aggregated and stored in Grafana’s internal database for the UI (views, query/errors, etc.).

What you can do in Azure Managed Grafana is export the workspace logs via Diagnostic settings to Log Analytics / Storage / Event Hub, and then build your own reporting from those logs (login events, general logs, etc.).

If your goal is “dashboard views / top dashboards / errors”, the usual workaround is:

enable diagnostic settings → send logs to Log Analytics or Storage,

query/aggregate there, and optionally store long-term.
