### Grafana Security

<Callout type="warning">
WARNING: By default, our Grafana container runs in anonymous mode with authentication disabled, relying on Sourcegraph's authentication and authorization when accessed through your Sourcegraph instance.

We recommend you use your network security controls to prevent access to Grafana's listening ports, or enable Grafana's builtin authentication.
</Callout>

To enable Grafana's builtin authentication, configure the `GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED` environment variable to `false` in the Grafana container's environment variables in your deployment override file.

We also recommend that you customize the default admin username and password by configuring the `GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER` and `GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD` environment variables, using your secrets management tool in your deployment pipeline.

```yaml
# Helm override
grafana:
env:
GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED:
value: "false"
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER:
value: "custom-admin-username"
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD:
value: "custom-admin-password"

# Docker Compose override
grafana:
environment:
- 'GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=custom-admin-username'
- 'GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=custom-admin-password'
- 'GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=false'
```
