Direct link rendered image

As the cli command shows you installed the plugin not a render server. You don’t have a render server hence nothing on 8081.

Use something like following by adding /render/ on any dashboard
localhost:3000/render/d/748hrhjdirj

example before render added in url path

example after render added in url path

I can do something like “http://localhost:3000/d/pc5AnppIz/” that I can copy form Panel → Settings → Share panel → Link URL, but I need automated rendering for reporting purposes (ruby-grafana-reporter). For that purpose I will need to activate Direct link rendered image. But I am stuck.

Any other reporting suggestion for OSS Grafana is welcome.

first off did using the suggested approach of adding /render/ to the dashabord url work?

No. If I add render I got some small icon.

did you clear out the settings you added to your .ini file that are supposed to be for render server which you do not have

server_url =

callback_url =

and restarted grafana?

It does not work. I cleared
server_url =

callback_url =

Tried with comment

;server_url =

;callback_url =

Tried with http://localhost:3000/render/d/pc5AnppIz/Dasboard_name?orgId=1&refresh=30s&from=1737654591117&to=1737665391117&viewPanel=2

But got result:

After that Render pluggin disable and has to be reinstalled.

Not sure I understand last post

Did you restart grafana?

I cleared
server_url =

callback_url =

Restarted Grafana

Tried with comment

;server_url =

;callback_url =

Restarted Grafana

Tried with http://localhost:3000/render/d/pc5AnppIz/Dasboard_name?orgId=1&refresh=30s&from=1737654591117&to=1737665391117&viewPanel=2

But got result:

Each time after I do the same procedure Image render pluggin is disabled.

For testing, Install a separate grafana instance same version, install render plugin, create a simple dashboard, then try /render/ on that dashboard

No luck. Same problem. I have Grafana 10, could that be a problem?

Try latest version on the test instance

Just one question not connected to the present topic - what Grafana version support XY Chart?
