Proposed changes

maybe the tutorial i'm following is too old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9qIqq104as&t=326s and something changed in the last 2 years?

Hey, I have the same issue. Followed the same tutorial and getting the same error

Not sure what we are doing wrong, any suggestions?

EDIT: Found someone implying its grafana's fault? https://community.grafana.com/t/error-connecting-influxdb-influxql-from-local-grafana-to-local-influxdb/73382

EDIT2: Someone with a workaround and this is working for me; first setup the connection in HA to fill the db with data, then grafana will work https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/55707

UPDATE: it connected AFTER the data started being sent from homeassistant. i suppose grafana checks for data, and if there's nothing yet, it thinks the connection was not succesful

Yeah I've got a potential solution for this in https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/56426, it looks as though the health check in Grafana is failing when influx is returning zero results, but the connection was otherwise successful.
