I’m trying to connect Grafana cloud to InfluxDB cloud. But none of the InfluxDB Grafana plugin options (SQL, InfluxQL, Flux) work. They all report HTTP 4xx-like errors, either unauthorized or 404. Or even the generic “error reading influxDB”.
Following the official InfluxDB tutorial, which has many quirks by the way. It keeps showing confusing snippets about InfluxDB URL’s with and without the availability zone subdomains.
Tried every combination we can think of, but still getting unauthorized / 404 / generic errors every time. Double and tripled checked all authentication credentials, org names, bucket names.
Is there some kind of 24 hour authentication cooldown we may have accidentally triggered while troubleshooting? If so, would expect both Grafana plugin messaging and email notifications about that.
For the record, the InfluxDB status page doesn’t report the outage.
To clarify, doesn’t the InfluxDB free tier support dashboards like Grafana? Where is the Chronograf cloud dashboard, can’t find any navigation links there.
The official documentation claims that simple bucket reading tokens are sufficient for dashboard integration. However, when we follow an aftermarket tutorial it says to use “All Access API” tokens, which works.
Can we please update the documentation to reflect the full token privilege requirements? And ensure that we get a Flux tab as well.
