docker-compose-grafana-influxdb's Issues

No influxdb.conf file

I've been using this set up with Gatling, to do this we need to have the graphite endpoint enabled and add some templates, which we were doing in the influxdb.conf file (sections I was adding below). With the latest commit upgrading to InfluxDB 2, this no longer exists. Can you advise on where I should be making these changes now?

templates = [
"gatling..users..* measurement.simulation.measurement.request.field",
"gatling...... measurement.simulation.group1.group2.request.status.field group=2",
"gatling.....* measurement.simulation.group1.request.status.field group=1",
"gatling.... measurement.simulation.request.status.field group=0",
"v2.gatling....users..* .measurement.run.host.simulation.measurement.request.field",
"v2.gatling........ .measurement.run.host.simulation.group1.group2.request.status.field group=2",
"v2.gatling.......* .measurement.run.host.simulation.group1.request.status.field group=1",
"v2.gatling...... .measurement.run.host.simulation.request.status.field group=0"]`

[[graphite]]
enabled = true
database = "gatling"
bind-address = ":2003"
protocol = "tcp"
batch-size = 5000
batch-pending = 10
batch-timeout = "1s"
separator = "."

Grafana plugin installation error: permision denied.

After running docker-compose up:
...
grafana_1 | installing grafana-clock-panel @ 0.1.0
grafana_1 | from url: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-clock-panel/versions/0.1.0/download
grafana_1 | into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins
grafana_1 |
grafana_1 |
grafana_1 | Error: ✗ Could not create /var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-clock-panel. Permission denied. Make sure you have write access to plugindir
grafana_1 |

grafana_1 | Grafana cli plugins install - install <plugin version (optional)>
grafana_1 |
grafana_1 | USAGE:

demo_grafana_1 exited with code 1

just a question ?

What is so dangerous about using these tools in production?

Missing directory under /etc/grafana/provisioning

With Grafana version upgrade, when container boot up, it will try to find plugins and alerting directories. But it currently have no folder pre-created, causing error message prompt behind the scene.

grafana  |logger=provisioning.plugins t=2023-03-22T14:30:23.196557499Z level=error msg="Failed to read plugin provisioning files from directory" path=/etc/grafana/provisioning/plugins error="open /etc/grafana/provisioning/plugins: no such file or directory"
grafana  |logger=provisioning.alerting t=2023-03-22T14:30:23.204998472Z level=error msg="can't read alerting provisioning files from directory" path=/etc/grafana/provisioning/alerting error="open /etc/grafana/provisioning/alerting: no such file or directory"

cleanup.sh nukes all local docker volumes

I lost a bunch of volumes unrelated to this project to docker system prune --volumes --force in the cleanup script. Any particular reason why you don't just use the -v flag with docker-compose down -v?

No worries by the way. I didn't lose anything I actually needed, but it could have been much worse.

And thanks for this project. It helped me a lot!

grafana.ini not mounted in docker-composer.yml

Making changes in grafana.ini is not reflection since its not been mounted. @guessi
