I am seeing empty graphs, but the DB in the MySQL container has data in it.  
for some reason, the Grafana is not able to connect to it.

I’m seeing an error:

> this authentication plugin is not supported

Which of the configurations of the Grafana is causing this?

I’m glad to see you were able to solve it yourself. (see the stackoverflow link)
