Grafana not picking up my metrics from graphite

  • 772

I installed graphite and grafana which I can both access through web. I was sending some test metrics to the machine using a SSC Serv Utility, which is basically a windows tool where you enter you graphite URL / IP and it starts sending common metrics from performance monitor. CPU / Memory etc.

In my graphite I see all the incoming metrics already but grafana stays empty.

I assume my database settings are not correct, here are my grafana settings:

// Graphite & Elasticsearch example setup

datasources: {
  graphite: {
    type: 'graphite',
    url: "localhost:80",
  },
  elasticsearch: {
    type: 'elasticsearch',
    url: "http://my.elastic.server.com:9200",
    index: 'grafana-dash',
    grafanaDB: true,
  }
},

localhost:80 is the url for my graphite website and I have grafana running on port 81.

What could I be missing? Thx in advance, every help is upvoted.

  1. I also faced the same issue. It got resolved for me when I replaced "url" under graphite to the server DNS instead of localhost as below. Also, make sure you can access this URL from your web browser. If not, verify the port.

    graphite: {
    type: 'graphite',
    url: "http://my.graphite.server:80",
  },
