Beta 3.0 Installation

[suckamucka]

In testing beta 3.0, I dropped jasonlashua-prtg-datasource in public/app/plugins/datasource directory I was able to add the plugin, but it fails to display the configuration of the plugin where we can add login information and URL to the PRTG server.

[suckamucka]

Ok, I had to also copy files from dist and place them in the root of jasonlashua-prtg-datasource

[neuralfraud]

It goes in the data/plugins folder, not the public/app/plugins/datasource

I added that to the readme.md for the 3.0 branch. There's still a lot to be done so I will be sure to make that more clear!

I saw that in the readme.md, however grafana-3.1.1 doesn't have a data/plugins folder. The only things in the data folder are: logs, sessions

[neuralfraud]

When you start for the first time grafana will create those directories. It's kind of weird. If in doubt, check the Ini file.

Thanks!

Very strange. The directory was not created for me automatically. I created the data/plugins directory and placed jasonlashua-prtg-datasource inside. Still not able to activate the plugin

[neuralfraud]

Even after removing from app/plugins/datasource? It should show up in the startup console/log output.

Are you using Linux or Windows to run grafana? I haven't tested on Linux and I'm not sure what the default data directory is.

Grafana on Windows.

←[32mINFO←[0m[08-30|14:57:26] Starting plugin search ←[32mlogg er←[0m=plugins ←[32mINFO←[0m[08-30|14:57:26] Server Listening ←[32mlogg er←[0m=server ←[32maddress←[0m=0.0.0.0:8080 ←[32mprotocol←[0m=http ←[32msubUrl←[

That is what is shown in the grafana-server.exe console log.

[suckamucka]

Do I still need to copy everything out of the dist folder and into the root of the data/plugins/jasonlashua-prtg-datasource directory?

[neuralfraud]

Assuming you downloaded the entire 3.0 branch, and you opened the .zip in explorer, you literally only need to drag the "jasonlashua-prtg-datasource" folder into the X:\Grafana-3.1.1\data\plugins directory.

[suckamucka]

I downloaded the whole zip. Once I extract I have [First image] then in src I have [Second Image] and finally in dist I have [Third Image]

Is this correct?

Try GRAFANA FOLDER\bin\data\plugins

Mine was automatically created in there for whatever reason. Put it there and it worked like a charm.

[neuralfraud]

Because grafana is kind of stupid. It uses the base directory from the execution context!

So I launch mine from the app folder...if you launch from bin, that explains it. Thanks man!

[suckamucka]

Yes, I launched from the bin directory as well. I will move it back to \bin\data\plugins and try again

[suckamucka]

Able to add a graph but the values are showing "NaN" however in PRTG the values are showing correctly.

[yossiv]

How about Linux ubuntu? i put the directory on \var\lib\grafana\plugins and it didnt work . on windows it works perfect

[neuralfraud]

@suckamucka :

1 - are you using the grafana proxy feature? (you should be)

2 - per the installation instructions, did you update the PRTG registry key with the necessary header (see section regarding CORS)

[neuralfraud]

@yossiv depends on the settings in your grafana configuration. I can't say - I've not yet run it on Linux.

[yossiv]

@neuralfraud no matter. i moved my Grafana to run on Windows as a services. thanks :+1:

[suckamucka]

1. yes I have the proxy feature enabled
2. yes the registry has been updated with the necessary header

Just to be certain, I rebuilt the PRTG server and added Grafana and the Grafana-PRTG plugin. Same results where graph is showing NaN

[ptcfast2]

I've found that depends on the sensor. I also get NaN and "object undefined" errors on some sensor types now that were working previously. Might want to create a separate issue for this.

[jtenniswood]

Just tried the beta with the grafana docker image, but couldn't get the datasource plugin to work. Shame, it sounds like a great product

[ghost]

There is just a problem with bandwith for me :(, and of course it's the most important for me XD ! But great job neuralfraud do you work on a new version ?

[suckamucka]

Has anyone found a workaround for bandwidth showing up as NaN?

[ghost]

Same

[jwlar]

Same bandwidth issue here

[beardpapi]

Same issue here

[neuralfraud]

Original Parent installation issue:

On windows, or if improperly configured, Grafana will create the data directory RELATIVE to execution path. for instance, if you start C:\grafana-4.1.2\bin\grafana-server.exe from the folder C:\grafana-4.1.2, the data directory will be created as C:\grafana-4.1.2\data - as expected.

Bandwidth sensors show up correctly. The datasource always looks for a channel definition with the word "(speed)" next to it. This is a behavior quirk of PRTG.

All bandwidth values are in bits per second, use the "data rate > bits / sec" option in your panels.
