Hey @wormimi

Have ever been able to start your instance? Is this error just because you installed the plugin Tempo? What did you do before starting the instance (since the installation of Grafana)? What’s the version of your instance?

Hi @codi639
Thank you for your help, I am a beginner.
I just installed Grafana and I can’t turn it on.
How to check the instance version.

You can check the instance by running this command
grafana-cli --version

Hi @vijha1989

[root@localhost ~]# grafana-cli --version
Grafana CLI version 8.3.4

Hi,
yum install grafana-enterprise-8.3.4-1.x86_64.rpm

  1. Wget RPM and Installation
    No special installation

UUh, that’s a old version…

What docu did you follow? Can you try this one?

10

UUh,

My os is CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

My question still remain, what documentation did you follow? Your rpm file is an old one…

I’m not very used to centos an yum but Can you try to do this to install a newer version:
Open the file /etc/yum.repos.d/grafana.repo and add the content:

[grafana]
name=grafana
baseurl=https://packages.grafana.com/oss/rpm
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key
sslverify=1
sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Then run your installation with sudo yum install grafana.

Or an easier way would be:

sudo yum install -y https://dl.grafana.com/enterprise/release/grafana-enterprise-11.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Following this documentation

Let me know how it goes
