Grafana Graphic database, issue with metrics

[mefraimsson]

Those steps seems solid. It should get you a running Grafana instance. But I’m guessing you still have problems configuring a datasource for graphite?

To create the graphite datasource in Grafana you’ll need to have a running graphite instance (which I got the impression that you had), please note that graphite is a separate time-series database compared to Grafana.

Please refer to my earlier answer to investigate graphite problems.

Second, if you try to access your Graphite instance directly in the browser, like http://localhost:8085/dashboard giving that you have configured Graphite to run on port 8085. If you can’t access Graphite in browser that’s where your problem is. Looking at your first post and the last screenshot I can see that you get several connection refused errors which to me looks like you cannot access graphite in the browser. The url’s in the google chrome dev tools with connection refused are clickable and first when you can access them correctly you should be able to create the datasource in Grafana correctly.

The last thing you tried is probably not what you want. Grafana and Graphite should run on different ports given that they’re installed on the same machine.
