Welcome!
Grafana access is granted by having an LDAP account. Please request access to logstash via Wikimedia IDM at https://idm.wikimedia.org.
Feel free to reopen this ticket in case you run into issues!

I am sorry, I do not know what this means: "Grafana access is granted by having an LDAP account."
Is the LDAP account not my dev account?

I am sorry, I do not know what this means: "Grafana access is granted by having an LDAP account."

Yes, it is. I meant to say: You should have access to Grafana already. Sorry for not being clear on this.

Then maybe I am doing it wrong, because when I try to login on grafana.mediawiki.org via my dev account I get "Service access denied due to missing privileges."

@trueg Yes, dev account is LDAP account. What exact user name are you trying to use to login? How about "Trueg" vs. "trueg" ? (Do not use "STrug-WMF").

ok, I was not aware that there are two grafana intances. I was trying to log into the ro one. I can perfectly log into the rw one. Sorry for the noise,
