Error installing JSON datasource plugin

Grafana Installation
1

I am trying to install json datasource plugin, manually as the is firewall that prevents installing directly.

grafana is installed under windows.

getting this error:

Plugin Error
(SystemJS) XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:8081/public/traceur?bust=1502095718794

How did you install it manually? Did you download the zip file from grafana.com and extract it into the data/plugins directory?

Link to zip file: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource/versions/1.3.4/download

3

I unzipped the zip, and copied content of src folder into:
…\public\app\plugins\datasource\

4

Where did you find instructions to do that? (Do we have incorrect documentation somewhere?)

From the installation page:

You should unpack the whole zip file. The src subdirectory contains the unbuilt source and will not work.

Issue solved, after coping correctly.
thanks

Hi ,

because even i am facing same issue .

It’s placed in your plugins directory. What error are you getting in the Grafana server logs? And what OS have you installed Grafana on?

Hi Daniellee,

@rashmisaravanan can you search the grafana server logs for an error, please. When you restart Grafana, there will be an error if it failed to load the plugin.

I resolved the issue :grinning:

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Hi Daniellee,

Error :
customer_historic plugin failed
Error: Fetch error: 404 Not Found Instantiating http://zld05099.vci.att.com:3001/public/plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource/module.js Loading plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource/module

I am facing problem in installing new plugin in linux ,
i dont have internet access for the server , so i have manually downloaded and placed in

/opt/app/workload/deployments/data/grafana/plugins/plugins

same path is mentioned in custom.ini and default.ini

Regards,
Rashmi

still its throwing error

The last part of the path looks wrong. I would guess (without seeing your config file) that the path for the simple json plugin should be:

/opt/app/workload/deployments/data/grafana/plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource

How did you install Grafana? The default for Ubuntu/Debian is that the plugin directory is located at: /var/lib/grafana/plugins
