Access denied-Prometheus

[motokiorikasa]

Hi everyone!

I’m testing monitoring with Prometheus and the SNMP Exporter, but I get an ‘Access Denied’ error when I try to add Prometheus as a data source as http://localhost:9090. Has anyone run into this before or know how to fix it?

Cheers,
Ori

Hi,

Do you use Grafana could? If so, where is Prometheus instance? Also in Grafana Cloud or do you self host prometheus?

Hi @dawiddebowski

Thanks for your reply!
My Prometheus instance is self-hosted and installed in the ‘documents’ directory.
I’m manually launching the prometheus.exe file from the command line each time, and trying to access it from Grafana. Do you have any suggestions or ideas?

Run command
C:\Prometheus>prometheus.exe --config.file=prometheus.yml --web.listen-address=“0.0.0.0:9090”

Hi @infofcc3

Where is your grafana install, on prem or cloud?

[motokiorikasa]

@infofcc3 This is my firewall config here.

and the Prometheus instance seems to be running.

but it doesn’t work…

Hi @yosiasz

I believe my Grafana is installed locally. I’ll attach my service config.

[infofcc3]

For same config file it will run. i was run on different laptop. install grafana, downlode prometheus and change prometheus.yml file after save and test. it will run and display logs.

@infofcc3

Thanks, I just send it to you.

Right now, I still haven’t been able to resolve this issue. Since it works with my local Grafana setup but not with Grafana Cloud, I suspect the problem lies somewhere between Prometheus and Grafana Cloud. Could anyone offer some advice?

Hello guys @infofcc3 @dawiddebowski @yosiasz
Since the local setup of Grafana, Prometheus, and the SNMP Exporter is working fine, I’m starting to suspect the issue lies with Grafana Cloud and Prometheus. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?

Absolutely, you can use “localhost” in Grafana Cloud. How it will know which localhost is it, yours, mine,…?

Be familiar with localhost concept, then also with ssh tunneling first. Then you will be able to use/understand PDC:
