How to connect Timestream to Self Managed Grafana

Question

Hello Reader,

Context:
I am working on a project where i want to capture the incoming data from an external MQTT broker and visualise it inside the grafana, So i created the EC2 instance and using cloud9 IDE i created a python script to interact with external MQTT broker, now i am getting the data on IoT core specifically on "MQTT test client" and now i want to visualise this data on Grafana "Self Managed Grafana" which is installed on my localhost Personal Computer.

Question:
As per the procedure I created the Rule inside the IoT Core rule dashboard which is inside "AWS IoT > Message routing > Rules" and created the Database in timestream but i am facing issues in table partitioning options (Deleted the database now) and the roles which i need to create to grant permissions to grafana and also to IoT Core to interact with timestream. can i get a proper guide to get data on timestream and connect timestream to grafana successfully?

sample data:

{
  "wind_dir": 187,
  "wind_speed": 10
}
{
  "current": 0,
  "power": 3
}

Hi - Thanks for asking the question. Here are few things you can review.

1. IOT core integration with Timestream - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/timestream/latest/developerguide/IOT-Core.html. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Wersoz2Q4) tutorial also provides a great way to get started 
2. You may have to explore the Timestream datasource plugin  for the same https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-timestream-datasource/ or https://docs.aws.amazon.com/timestream/latest/developerguide/Grafana.html

Hope this helps
Thanks
