I’ve been having trouble getting grafana set up and show any data.
I’ve been getting some help from a gentleman over on Community OpenEnergyMonitor forums…
His guidance has helped me a lot, but we hit a snag when he asked me to run a command in the terminal. Giving us an error that he cannot reproduce and has no idea why it’s giving an error.
If I enter the following command:
SELECT * FROM “CELLS”
I get this error:
ERR: error parsing query: found “, expected identifier at line 1, char 15
I’ve created a database called “powerwall”
If I do type: show databases
It’s shows: powerwall
Then I type: use powerwall
Then I type: show measurements
It’s shows: CELLS
Then I type: SELECT * FROM “CELLS”
It shows: ERR: error parsing query: found “, expected identifier at line 1, char 15
According to the gentleman that is his helping me it should not be giving that error. And he’s not sure why and is unable to reproduce it.
Any ideas?
Not sure if it matters but I have both grafana and influxdb installed on a Raspberry Pi that is running raspbian OS.
As far as I can tell I have grafana sit up properly there is just no data showing up. And as far as I know oh, I have grafana set up properly to receive data into the powerwall database not sure why it’s not working. Or basically trying to run the following command mentioned above to see if there is indeed data coming into the database.
Looking more closely at your original query, it looks like you’re using curly quotes (“) rather than straight quotes ("). That may be the cause of the issue.
That’s typically what that means, unless you’re not specifying your database/retention policy elsewhere. You could try using a fully-qualified measurement: ("database-name"."retention-policy-name"."CELLS")
SELECT * FROM "database-name"."retention-policy-name"."CELLS"
If that doesn’t work, you can run the following to confirm if there is data or not:
SHOW SERIES ON your-database-name
If that doesn’t return anything, then there’s not data in the database.
