Reporting API

Reporting API

This API allows you to interact programmatically with the Reporting feature.

Reporting is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about Grafana Enterprise.

If you have Fine-grained access Control enabled, for some endpoints you would need to have relevant permissions. Refer to specific resources to understand what permissions are required.

Send a report

Only available in Grafana Enterprise v7.0+.

This API endpoint is experimental and may be deprecated in a future release. On deprecation, a migration strategy will be provided and the endpoint will remain functional until the next major release of Grafana.

POST /api/reports/email

Generate and send a report. This API waits for the report to be generated before returning. We recommend that you set the client’s timeout to at least 60 seconds.
