Getting grafana templating init failed [object object]

ankitpareek · July 21, 2017, 11:49am

While adding a new variable in template whenever I choose “On dashboard load” option in Refresh section for more than two variable in a single dashboard then it gives the error “Getting grafana templating init failed [object object]”.
I am using Grafana version 4.3.2 and KairosDb as data source.

Also after refreshing the dashboard one of the variables doesn’t show any values.

If I don’t choose “On dashboard load” for more than two variables then it works fine.

Can you open chrome dev tools and see if you can get a more detailed error in the dev tools console.

It is a probably bug in the KairosDB that it returns [object Object] rather than the actual error message.

KairosDB gives the values but after refreshing the dashboard it disappears.
If I select “Never” instead of “On dashboard load” in the Refresh section then it works fine.
Problem occurs only if i select “On dashboard load” for more than two variables otherwise it works.

yes, but did you see what the actual error is (afer selecting “On dashboard load”)?

ankitpareek · July 27, 2017, 1:51pm

that is the error I am getting console.

Let me know if you want me to expand any object.

Hi Daniellee, Let me know if you need any other details about the error.

i have same error

@ankitpareek sorry, forgot about this when I went on vacation. [Object Object] as the error message is a bug in the error reporting of the Kairos DB data source. Did you figure out the problem?

daniellee · August 31, 2017, 7:33am

@murryy79 That’s not the same error. In your case, it is easy to see what the error is. Grafana cannot reach the server: “502 (Bad Gateway)”. Maybe it is a DNS or firewall problem?

Thanks @daniellee
We found Prometheus VM was down. Further drilling found no space in filesystem

/dev/sdc1 4.8G 4.1G 442M 91% /var/vcap/store

Removed this directory to resolve
/var/vcap/store/prometheus/orphaned

How do we prevent this from happening again ?

Thanks

@murryy79 I don’t know. Maybe worth searching through the Prometheus docs or asking on their google group.

I saw this error then the IP/hostname of the prometheus server changed.

1、The grafana I used is grafana-6.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm；
2、The Prometheus I used is “prometheus-2.0.0.linux-amd64”；
3、The node_exporter I used is “node_exporter-0.18.1.linux-amd64”；
4、The Dashboards template I use is “Node Exporter v0.16–0.18” and its ID is: 10262

But what I see on the granfana interface is "Templating init failed Cannot read property ‘result’ of undefined"
