Hello I am trying to integrate grafana with influx as in this guide:
I have completed all the steps including:
Everything checks out, if I run a get with my user’s token the mapping appears to be fine.
Am I missing something?
I have to note it does feel weird to choose Basic Auth and a pair of username & token.
Is anything wrong with the documentation?
I tried to use auth headers and still nothing.
The related influx log is: 2020-11-23T21:34:58.227170Z info Unauthorized {“log_id”: “0Qel1170000”, “error”: “authorization not found”}
Hello @gpanou,
So just to make sure I understand you correctly, you’re trying to query 2.x with influxQL in grafana? What’s throwing me off is why did you execute dbrp mapping?
I’m not a grafana user, but can you use the plugin? Flux (InfluxDB) [BETA] plugin for Grafana | Grafana Labs
I need InfluxQL support because all the Grafana community dashboards are created for 1.x right now.
So flux would not work for my monitoring needs.
I figured it out, I was suspicious about basic auth using a token. Indeed you need to authenticate with an Authorization header, including the “Token” part of the string.
Should I open an issue regarding the documentation somewhere?
Hi @gpanou, I’m glad to hear you got things working. I’ve been hunting/squishing problems in our V1 compatibility APIs, could you clarify a few details?
When you were trying to use Basic Auth and hitting errors, were you using the username/password of a V2 user (created via influx setup or influx user create)? Or a V1 compatibility user (created via influx v1 auth create)?
Same question now that you’re using Token auth and things are working: are you using V2 creds, or V1?
