+## Data source proxy and protecting internal services
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you have non-Grafana web services running on your Grafana server or within its local network, these may be vulnerable to exploitation via the Grafana data source proxy.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To prevent this type of exploitation from happening we explain a couple of different solutions below.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Configure Grafana to only allow certain IP addresses/hostnames to be used as datasource url
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can configure Grafana to only allow certain IP addresses/hostnames to be used as data source url and by that proxied through the Grafana data source proxy. See [data_source_proxy_whitelist](/installation/configuration/#data-source-proxy-whitelist) for usage instructions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Firewall rules
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You should be able to configure a firewall, for example using iptables, to restrict Grafana from making network requests to certain internal web services.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Proxy server
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You should be able to require all network requests being made by Grafana to go through a proxy server.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Viewer query permissions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Important to understand that users with Viewer role can still issue any possible query to all data sources available in the **organization**. Not just the queries that are defined on the dashboards the user with Viewer role has permissions to view.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There are a couple of ways you can restrict data source query access:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Create multiple data sources with some restrictions added in data source config that restrict access (like database name or credentials). Then use the [Data Source Permissions]({{< relref "permissions/datasource_permissions.md" >}}) Enterprise feature to restrict user access to the data source in Grafana.
|
|
|
+- Create a separate Grafana organization and in that organization create a separate data source. Make sure the data source has some option/user/credentials setting that limits access to a subset of the data. Not all data sources have an option to limit access.
