Grafana chart will not appear in MM

Re: MMM-GrafanaCharts and MMM-GrafanaGauges: Display you data with Charts and Gauges. Beautifully.

Hi all,

I try to get the MMM-GrafanaCharts module running … not so easy:
I played now several days to show a grafana chart in my MM. I used this use case for creating a grafana chart:
https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi. The grafana runs in docker with the following parms:

GF_USERS_ALLOW_SIGN_UP=false
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=flant-statusmap-panel,ae3e-plotly-panel
GF_ORG_ROLE=Viewer #to just view graphs without authentication
GF_ORG_NAME=Main Org
GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true
GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS=true
GF_ALLOW_EMBEDDING=true

I used the share function in the grafana dashboard to create an url:

http://pi-hole:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection?from=1624514783736&to=1624601183736&orgId=1&refresh=5m

and thats my config.js snippet:

{
disabled: false,
module: 'MMM-GrafanaChart',
position: 'top_left', // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
version: "6", // Only add this line if you are using Grafana verison 6 or greater
id: "o9mIe_Aik", // Only Mandartory if you are using Grafana verison 6 or greater found after /d/ in the url
host: "http://pi-hole:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection?from=1624514783736&to=1624601183736&orgId=1&refresh=5m", //Mandatory. See url when displaying within grafana
port: 3030, // Mandatory.
dashboardname: "internet-connection", // Mandatory.
orgId: 1, // Mandatory.
panelId: 2, // Mandatory.
width: "100%", // Optional. Default: 100%
height: "100%", // Optional. Default: 100%
refreshInterval: 900 //Optional. Default: 900 = 1/4 hour
}
},

Both raspberries are running the same network.
But there is nothing to see in the MM. Not even a empty frame.

Thanks for your comments !
Cheers Peter

Hi Peter,

@peterkatana said in Grafana chart will not appear in MM:

host: “http://pi-hole:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection?from=1624514783736&to=1624601183736&orgId=1&refresh=5m”, //Mandatory. See url when displaying within grafana

I would try:

host: "<grafana_host_ip>",

Nothing to be seen in the pm2 logs ?

I used both MMM-GrafanaChart and MMM-GrafanaGauges for a short time a while ago, but wasn’t really happy with it.
But perhaps it will suit your needs.

@evroom
Thanks for your ideas. I will try.
Till now I didnt find something appropriate in comparison with the MMM-GrafanaCharts. Also the iFrame was not working for me. But I assume, after they changed some security features in the new version I need to configure the grafana server properly.
If you have an alternative - I am curious.
Thanks Peter

@peterkatana also, please put any config.js entries in a code block,

paste text
select text pasted
hit the button above editor that looks like </>

makes it easier for us all to read
