Nagflux with Non-Admin User on InfluxDB #35

Closed gitmopp closed 6 years ago

gitmopp commented 7 years ago

I tried to get nagflux working with a non admin user, it fails because the first query is show databases, which requires admin access.

[httpd] 127.0.0.1 - nagflux [07/Apr/2017:13:26:35 +0200] "GET /query?db=nagflux&p=%5BREDACTED%5D&precision=ms&q=show+databases&u=nagflux HTTP/1.1" 403 133 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1" 0ebf918f-1b85-11e7-8104-000000000000 494

It would be nice to have an option to skip the show databases part.

I'll look into that, it's currently used to test if the database exists.

InfluxDB allows non admin users to use show database in the next version 1.3.0. https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/pull/7974 Seems like Grafana has the same issues. Therefore I would say lets wait for the next release, because I don't see a clean way to check if the database exists without admin rights. If you found something let me know.

This should be fixed by the current InfluxDB version.
