Anyone else experienced this. It was working fine on previous versions of Grafana (6.2). Since upgrading this problem keeps happening. Tried uninstalling etc, nothing seems to work.

In 7.0, Grafana made a breaking change so that plugins must be signed. See this thread with a link to the Grafana changelog that explains how you can load unsigned plugins.

@simonmms Can this plugin be used in v7.0?

@angela-d @jaxxstorm What do you think about a fork of the plugin?

angela-d commented 4 years ago

@b-reich I don't personally have enough free time to fork it. I haven't even updated my own install to v7+, yet

angela-d commented 4 years ago

@simonmms @xuanyuanaosheng @b-reich I upgraded to Grafana v7.2.0 this evening with virtually no issues. Plugin is still working fine on both Linux and Windows installs.

@simonmms I would be curious to know if any of your sensor/device names or values have special characters in them. I did not see any bugs of this nature after upgrading.

@angela-d Can I ask exactly what you put in your grafana.ini to make this work in 7.0+? I've tried setting "allow_loading_unsigned_plugins =" to all of the following, both quoted/without quotes & caps/lowercase but I continue to get the unsigned error:

prtg grafana-prtg jasonlashua-prtg-datasource

I also tried setting all of these combinations prior to having the datasource/folder present the first time I restarted grafana with the same results.

Or are you saying it was working in a pre 7.0 version, then upgraded to 7.2.0 & it sort-of "grandfathered" it's way in during the upgrade without having to modify the ini?

Seems to be this, I did not do anything to the installation for the plugin to work. When I upgrade, I install it atop of the old installation for both Linux and Windows.

Enter a comma-separated list of plugin identifiers to identify plugins that are allowed to be loaded even if they lack a valid signature.

Based on Grafana's documentation, this might be the syntax it's looking for:

[plugins]
allow_loading_unsigned_plugins=jasonlashua-prtg-datasource

Make sure it's under the [plugins] section.

You might need to restart the Grafana service for it to take effect, if it doesn't start working right away.
