The blog post, co-authored by Grafana Labs engineer Andres Martinez and Amazon Managed Grafana engineer Robbie Rolin, introduces a new Redshift data source plugin for Grafana, developed in collaboration with AWS. This plugin enables users to visualize and monitor their Amazon Redshift queries within Grafana, taking advantage of Grafana's diverse visualization options and integrating data from various sources into a single dashboard. Users can access their Redshift clusters through Temporary Credentials or AWS Managed Secret, and the plugin comes with a curated dashboard providing insights into cluster performance and health. The query editor offers SQL syntax and autocompletion, while template variables and annotations enhance dashboard dynamism and customization. More information about the plugin and Redshift usage can be found on the project's plugin page and Amazon's documentation.
