Grafana Anonymous Access

We’ve identified a need for users who enable anonymous authentication to monitor the anonymous devices connected to their Grafana instance. This feature is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance control and transparency regarding anonymous usage.

Anonymous access now allows users, including those in open-source and enterprise self-managed environments, to view and monitor their anonymous access. They can also set a device limit, configuring a specific number of anonymous devices to connect to their instance.

Once this limit is reached, any new devices attempting to connect will be denied access until existing devices disconnect.

The anonymous devices feature improves the management and monitoring of anonymous access within your Grafana instance.

Anonymous Device:

When anonymous access has been enabled, any device which accesses Grafana in the last 30 days (without logging in) is considered an active anonymous device. Users can now view anonymous devices on the users page, anonymous usage statistics, including the count of devices and users over this period.

Grafana UI:

Navigate to Administration -> Users to access the anonymous devices tab.
A new statistic has been added to the Usage & Stats page, displaying active anonymous devices from the last 30 days.
