Debug Grafana server

Grafana
1

Hello,
I am trying to debug Grafana Server.
When I run the server, attach delve, after I attach debugger. When I open UI it get stuck (no response). I tried compiling without optimizations (“-gcflags=all=-N -l”) didn’t help.
I also tried directly via IDE (“pkg/cmd/grafana”), when I run in debug it fails with segfault:

API server listening at: 127.0.0.1:40199
unexpected fault address 0xffffffffc1245470
fatal error: fault

I am running linux (kernel 6.1), intel cpu, golang 1.19.5.

Hello,
Did you manage to get it working? I’m trying to do the same thing and I’m facing the same issues. I’ve forked the repo and tried to attach a debugger to the server bug to no avail. Is there any documentation for this I can look into?
