Hi @ps20renar, thanks for reporting this issue. I was able to recreate it on my system.

The error caused through the missing python requests packages.

It looks like cherrypy starting from python >= 3.8 not using requests packages anymore. But we use it in our code. In RHEL9 the requests packages are preinstalled per default, but in RHEL8 not.

As I already mentioned in chat just install python requests packages using pip and restart the grafana-bridge. The error shouldn't appear anymore.

# pip3.8 install requests
