Service management for Aiven for Grafana®

Manage the lifecycle of your Aiven for Grafana® service, including power state, naming, tags, forks, cloud region, email sending, plugins, and advanced parameters.

Lifecycle changes and ongoing configuration​

Service management for Aiven for Grafana® covers two kinds of changes. Lifecycle changes affect the service itself: powering it on or off, or deleting it, forking it, renaming it, or moving it to a different cloud or region. Configuration changes affect how the running service behaves: tags, advanced parameters, SMTP settings for outbound email, and the plugins available to your dashboards.

Most lifecycle changes trigger a status transition that you can follow from the service's Overview page, so look there to confirm a change has finished before you rely on the service again.

Before you start​

  • Backups underpin more than one lifecycle action: forking needs an existing backup on the source service, and powering off a service that has no backups permanently loses its data once the service is removed.
  • Forking and renaming both produce a new service, so integrations, SSO configuration, and client connections tied to the original service need to be reattached manually afterward.
  • For production services, enable termination protection so the service can't be deleted by mistake. Use the --enable-termination-protection flag with the avn service update or avn service create commands.
