Reporting API
This API allows you to interact programmatically with the Reporting feature.
Reporting is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about Grafana Enterprise.
If you have Fine-grained access Control enabled, for some endpoints you would need to have relevant permissions. Refer to specific resources to understand what permissions are required.
Send a report
Only available in Grafana Enterprise v7.0+.
This API endpoint is experimental and may be deprecated in a future release. On deprecation, a migration strategy will be provided and the endpoint will remain functional until the next major release of Grafana.
POST /api/reports/email
Generate and send a report. This API waits for the report to be generated before returning. We recommend that you set the client’s timeout to at least 60 seconds.
