Ok, base case:
Setting up a proxmox server for homelab & development, current first goal is working with Grafana with side-goals of learning more of linux, influxdb, proxmox, dockers/containers etc. Bonus-points if I can create things I can have use of in my “battlestation” and learn skills I can leverage to improve/add technical solutions into my daily life.
Anwyays.
I’ve been installing, reinstalling and smashing my head against this, I want to think it’s a simple problem but starting to seriously doubt myself.
Steps I have taken:
1: Install proxmox
2: Install influxdb in a LXC
3: install Grafana in a LXC
4: Install unpoller in a LXC (populates influxdb with data from my unifi network equipment).
5: Since I kept failing, I made a experiment and installed a ubuntu-VM, installed Grafana, Unpoller and prometheus and got everyting working 100% there, so sanity has been kept in check.
Current issue:
It seems my influxdb is being populated with data, I can see measurements in the webGUI and the unpoller-app is chugging along nicely without error messages but rather reports all well.
Now, when I connect from Grafana into InfluxDB first I just got error messages but have understood I need to authenticate using “V1” methodology into the “V2 engine”.
I have added read-access, setup “dbrp” and done all types of shenanigans…
Currently I get a green light in grafana, reporting successfull connection, but 0 measurements discovered, so obviously something is still wrong.
Going to throw out a bunch of “copy pastes” here to give some background and would really really like some pointers on what to do next.
