Hi,
Seems like CARTO has just deployed this watermark for any tile requests with no API key that uses it.
Anyone can request a free API key - I have just gotten mine now. But not sure where to inject this - I would assume on the JSON panel somewhere.
Can someone guide the community please?
Regards,
Carlo
I solved it by:
Edit the Pane
Basemap layer
[Layer type] → arcGIS MapServer
[Server instance] → Custom MapServer
[URL Template] = https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/rastertiles/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key={YOUR_API_KEY}
[Attribution] = carto dot com //limited to 2 links, sorry.
Refer to their github for styling: https://github.com/cartodb/basemap-styles
I went with the dark_all style
CARTO now requires a free API key for raster tile requests; the watermark just means the key hasn’t been added yet. Your map isn’t broken.
Grafana’s built-in CARTO basemap type doesn’t have a field for the key, so switch to a generic tile layer instead:
Edit panel → Basemap layer
Layer type → XYZ Tile layer
URL Template:
https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/rastertiles/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=YOUR_API_KEY
Attribution → carto.com
Swap dark_all for other styles (light_all, voyager, etc.) with full list here → github.com/cartodb/basemap-styles
