Grafana throws errors every 10s to systemd logs #47

Closed rgeniesse closed 5 years ago

rgeniesse commented 5 years ago

While troubleshooting some community issues, I noticed that Grafana would throw an error ever 10 seconds to systemd logs:

Confirmed this is happening in Grafana 5.4.3 as well as the new 6. It seems related to the call out of the /var/lib/grafana/dashboards directory in /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/sample.yaml. That said, the one that comes with Grafana at /usr/share/grafana/conf/provisioning/dashboards/sample.yaml has the same line, just commented out.

If I use the one at /usr/share/grafana/conf/provisioning/dashboards/sample.yaml in place of the one provided in this repo at /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/sample.yaml, the error goes away after a Grafana restart.

I don't know the implications of doing such a thing though, but Grafana appears to work still.
