Amazon Grafana - embed panels not working due to x-frame-options deny on iframes

Question

I am trying to embed Amazon Grafana panels via an iframe in my web application that is hosted on another domain but it does not work due to x-frame-options denied. This option can be set on the Grafana server but for the Amazon Grafana not sure where to set this option as it is a managed service and cannot change the configuration of the grafana server. Does anyone know how I could solve this so I can be able to embed any Grafana panels added to a dashboard in Amazon Grafana to any external web application using the embed feature on panels in AWS Grafana? Hereafter a link to the parameter that needs to be set to true on the Grafana server: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/configuration/#allow_embedding

Hello RaMa, I understand you're facing an issue with embedding Amazon Grafana panels in your web application hosted on another domain due to x-frame-options being denied. This is a common challenge when working with Amazon Managed Grafana, as it's a managed service and doesn't allow direct modification of server configurations.

To address this issue, here are some potential solutions and steps you can take:

**Use Amazon Managed Grafana's built-in sharing options**:
        Open the dashboard or panel you want to share.
        Click on the "Share" button.
        Use the "Embed" tab to generate an iframe code.
        This method should work without x-frame-options issues, as it's designed for external embedding.

**Configure CORS for your Amazon S3 bucket**:
        If your Grafana instance is using an S3 bucket for storage, you may need to configure CORS.
        Go to the S3 console and select your bucket.
        Under "Permissions," edit the CORS configuration.
        Add your web application's domain to the AllowedOrigins list.

**Use a reverse proxy**:
        Set up a reverse proxy on your web application's server.
        Configure it to forward requests to your Amazon Managed Grafana instance.
        This can help bypass the x-frame-options restriction.

**Implement server-side rendering**:
        Instead of embedding Grafana directly, fetch the data from Grafana's API.
        Render the visualizations on your server or client-side using a charting library.

**To verify if the problem is solved:**

1. After implementing a solution, try embedding a Grafana panel in your web application.
2. Check the browser's developer console for any CORS or x-frame-options errors.
3. Verify that the embedded panel loads and functions correctly.

Remember to always follow security best practices when implementing these solutions. Ensure that you're only allowing access from trusted domains and consider using authentication mechanisms to protect your Grafana data.

If you continue to face issues, I recommend consulting the official Amazon Managed Grafana documentation (See User Guide in Additional Resources below) or contacting AWS Support for more tailored assistance with your specific setup.
