Can't define second datasource in dashboard

Grafana Dashboards
1

Hello,

sorry for my poor english…

I’ve a weather dashborad based on an influx db.

Now I want to extend this with a 2. dashboard with air quality data (and playlist). This new data were written to another db in the same influx instance.

Because I want to reuse some auf the panels of 1. dashboard I’d cloned this one. But now I can’t define a new datasource based on the 2. database in influx (invalid url).

Maybe the datasources are specific for every dashboard? Can I delete the first defined datasource from 1. dashboard? Or is there an other way how to define the new data connection?

Many thanks Frank.

A single datasource in Grafana can be used by multiple dashboards. In a new dashboard, you can use panels with either the same datasource or different datasources.
If needed, you can also add a new datasource in Grafana settings and select it in your panels.

Hi,

don’t know what I’ve doing false. But now I could define a new datasource at same influx instance.

So topic is solved. Thank you.
