What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
v9.2.3 ubuntu open source -
What are you trying to achieve?
Use the News panel or similar to post release notes/changelog type info on a dashboard -
TRY 1 How are you trying to achieve it?
News panel: Doesn’t seem to work with any URL but Grafana Labs Blog on Grafana Labs - trying things like <![CDATA[Stories by Mikhail Volkov on Medium]]> which look like the same XML output but I get the Error loading RSS feed -
What happened?
Error -
What did you expect to happen?
Display the blog like it does the grafana blog -
Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
In the panel, this text is rendered:
Error loading RSS feed.
So I’ve given up on the built in NEWS plugin. Maybe if I figure out the auth trick I’ll come back to it. It’s simplicity would be really nice.
-
TRY 2 How are you trying to achieve it?
Using the Volkovlabs RSS/Atom Data Source etc.
RSS/Atom plugin for Grafana | Grafana Labs -
What happened?
Multiple version of a RSS feed URL from our confluence server fail to authorize.
This is the base URL generated by confluence’s feed builder
https://<company confluence link>/createrssfeed.action?types=page&pageSubTypes=comment&pageSubTypes=attachment&types=blogpost&blogpostSubTypes=comment&blogpostSubTypes=attachment&spaces=conf_all&title=Beta+Wiki+RSS+Feed&labelString%3D&excludedSpaceKeys%3D&sort=modified&maxResults=10&timeSpan=5&showContent=true&confirm=Create+RSS+Feed&os_authType=basic
When trying this URL in the RSS/Atom datasource plugin, I hit save + test I get
Authentication to data source failed
I’ve tried basic / cookie / any options for the os_authType paramater… maybe there’s another option there I haven’t found documentation for?
-
What did you expect to happen?
I expected confluence and grafana to play nice together and utilize an oAuth/SSO workflow that would allow users who are connected to Confluence already (with a cookie etc) to be able to render the output from the blog hosted in Confluence. -
Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?

I cannot make this feed public.
