I have a Grafana instance set up to use anonymous login as described here. When I go to the Grafana instance's url it shows the main dashboard page from which I can choose a specific dashboard to view. Is there a way, without using other programs, to configure Grafana to show a specific dashboard instead of the main one?

From my research I understand that part of the solution is to use a playlist, and I can get the effect I want by going to a playlist url, e.g. myhost:3000/playlists/play/1, but I would like to configure it so that myhost:3000 shows that playlist.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, but both require additional applications. One is to use a reverse proxy web server, such as nginx, the other is grafana-kiosk. I suspect that the very existence of grafana-kiosk implies that what I want to do is not possible, but there's no harm in asking.

This can be done without additional software.

  • In Server Admin | Orgs
    Make sure you have at least one organisation (I think I renamed the default).
  • In Server Admin | Settings
    Allow anonymous viewer (need to edit the .ini file for this)
    auth.anonymous
    enabled True
    hide_version false
    org_name [your default org name]
    org_role Viewer
  • 'Star' the dashboard you want as default
  • In Configuration | Preferences
    Set the Home dashboard for the organisation
    Set the Org name to to match the name above
