Using ec2_instance_attribute examples

JSON filters

The ec2_instance_attribute query takes filters in JSON format. You can specify pre-defined filters of ec2:DescribeInstances. Note that the actual filtering takes place in AWS, not in Grafana.

The following code example shows the filters syntax. 

{ filter_name1: [ filter_value1 ], filter_name2: [ filter_value2 ] }

The following example shows the ec2_instance_attribute() query. 

ec2_instance_attribute(us - east - 1, InstanceId, { 'tag:Environment': ['production'] });

  • EnaSupport

  • Hypervisor

  • IamInstanceProfile

  • ImageId

  • InstanceId

  • InstanceLifecycle

Tags can be selected by prefixing the tag name with Tags.
