/api/search sporadically fails to return results

Grafana
1

Very sporadic results for folderIds searches.
/api/search?folderIds=1 sometimes returns results and other times result is empty [].

Scenario 1
Step 1: Example: /api/search?folderIds=1 result is []
Step 2: Wait 20 seconds, or sometimes wait for 60 seconds
Step 3: /api/search?folderIds=1 results successfully returned

Scenario 2
Step 1: /api/search?folderIds=1 results successfully returned
Step 2: After a couple of minutes /api/search?folderIds=1 result is []

Is it timing out? Unclear if the issue is your system or the API.

3

Not timing out. Getting 200 response code with empty results…sporadically.

This is happening on * Grafana v7.1.5 (9893b8c53d)

Empty result for same call /api/search?folderIds=1
[]

…20 seconds later…

Successful result for same call /api/search?folderIds=1
[{“id”:1024,“uid”:“cne-cne-details”,“title”:“CNE Dashboard: Details”,“uri”:“db/cne-dashboard-details”,“url”:"/d/cne-cne-details/cne-dashboard-details",“slug”:"",“type”:“dash-db”,“tags”:[],“isStarred”:false,“folderId”:1,“folderUid”:“cne”,“folderTitle”:“CNE”,“folderUrl”:"/dashboards/f/cne/cne"},{“id”:1023,“uid”:“cne-cne-10ft”,“title”:“CNE Dashboard: Overview [10ft]”,“uri”:“db/cne-dashboard-overview-10ft”,“url”:"/d/cne-cne-10ft/cne-dashboard-overview-10ft",“slug”:"",“type”:“dash-db”,“tags”:[],“isStarred”:false,“folderId”:1,“folderUid”:“cne”,“folderTitle”:“CNE”,“folderUrl”:"/dashboards/f/cne/cne"}]

Fixed after making provider names unique in provisioning dashboards config yaml.
