Error when creating AWS Grafana workspace

The error message you are encountering, "Your account is not allowed to perform the requested action. Please reach out to AWS support," indicates that there might be an issue with your AWS account permissions or configurations that is preventing you from creating the Grafana workspace. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check IAM Permissions: Ensure that your AWS IAM user or role has the necessary permissions to create Grafana workspaces and access Amazon Timestream data. To do this:

   • Verify that your IAM user or role has the AmazonTimestreamFullAccess policy attached. This policy provides full access to Amazon Timestream.
   • Ensure that your IAM user or role has permissions to create Grafana workspaces. You can create a custom IAM policy with the necessary permissions and attach it to your user or role.

2. Check Service Quotas: AWS services often have service quotas that limit the number of resources you can create or use. Check if there are any service quotas related to Grafana workspaces in your AWS account that might be exceeded. If so, you may need to request a quota increase from AWS Support.

3. Region Compatibility: Ensure that the Grafana workspace and Amazon Timestream are both in the same AWS region. If they are in different regions, you may not be able to create the workspace.

4. Check Grafana Configuration: Review your Grafana configuration, including the data source configuration for Amazon Timestream. Ensure that you have specified the correct AWS region, credentials, and other settings in Grafana to connect to Timestream.

5. AWS Support Contact: If you've checked all of the above and the issue persists, the error message specifically mentions reaching out to AWS Support. This may be necessary if there is an account-level issue or if further troubleshooting is required. You can open a support ticket with AWS to get assistance with this specific issue.

6. Verify AWS Account Status: Ensure that your AWS account is active and in good standing. Sometimes, account-related issues can lead to access problems.

7. Check Browser and Network: Occasionally, browser issues or network problems can interfere with creating resources in AWS services. Try using a different web browser or network to see if that resolves the issue.

Remember to follow security best practices when configuring IAM permissions and ensure that you grant the least privilege necessary to perform the required actions. Avoid using overly permissive policies for IAM users or roles.
