Can not connect Grafana to InfluxDB

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Grafana cloud version (V3)

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    Using SQL connection trying to connect and visualise data from a Cloud instance of InfluxDB, which is linking to an ESP32 measuring temperature and humidity

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

  • What happened?
    I follow the Grafana/influxDB documentation, When I go to test and connect I get the following error:

There was an error when testing this data source, please check PDC agent logs.

ERROR: flightsql: rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = unauthenticated

Looks like its similar to mine (aside from mine is European based), therefore any further ideas as to what is wrong? Is it something daft like using Browser type? I am using Chrome
