Grafana Installation

i have tried everything, in different folders, ziped, unziped…

now results.

22

Sorry to hear that. Did you restart the Grafana daemon in between?

23

Yes, every time when i try something i do restart.

24

Sorry. Are you able to move to Linux?

25

well, that is problem. Because about Linux i know only the name “Linux”. I have never installed or worked. I guess i will have to start learning Linux.

For now i will leave my dashboards without clock, which is not so terrible, until i find solution.

26

Maybe this is your chance to finally learn a bit of Linux ;]. It will not hurt more than Windows. Good luck!

The key issue here is that external plugins need to be extracted into the “data\plugins” directory found at the top level of your Grafana installation.

We have a new MSI-based installer you can use. With that, you should be able to use the grafana-cli to install any published plugin.

Here’s an example using this method:

PS C:\Program Files\GrafanaLabs\grafana\bin> .\grafana-cli.exe plugins install grafana-clock-panel
installing grafana-clock-panel @ 1.0.3
from url: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-clock-panel/versions/1.0.3/download
into: ../data/plugins

✔ Installed grafana-clock-panel successfully

Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>

PS C:\Program Files\GrafanaLabs\grafana\bin>

If it is not a published plugin, you can extract the contents into C:\Program Files\GrafanaLabs\grafana\data\plugins then restart the grafana server.

If i understand well, i will have to reinstall Grafana. That is not problem. After that, with copy/past of Data and Config folder, from old to new location, will i have all my dashboards back?

Yes, the data directory has your database with dashboards inside, be sure to keep a copy of it.
