Grafana+InfluxDB on Docker in Windows

Grafana InfluxDB
1

I have got Docker.Desktop setup on Windows10 and installed in Docker both Grafana and Influxdb. The reside on the same host on the same hardware.

What I am trying to do is establish a connection to Influx from Grafana. I see there is a few other messages about this problem already - but none seemed to help.

The IP address here is the one I got for Influxdb from docker network inspect bridge . I was able to ping this IP from the docker for grafana, but not the other way as influxdb doesnt seem to have ping installed.

I have tried with and without “With Credentials”

I presume the Organisation is the Organisation ‘name’ not ‘ID’

Can you log into (with a browser) http://170.17.0.3:8086?

If yes, then which version do you see running? My guess is v2.7, and if so, here are some screenshots to get it working with InfluxQL.

Because it’s docker I dot think the host has access to that network.

4

how did you install both? using docker run or docker compose?

5

docker run

6

I found that I got it to go using query language Flux, but the instructions say I should use InfluxQL. The issue is when I change it to InfluxQL the connection fails again:

please share full docker commands you used for both grafana and influxdb also which docker image versions you used

It doesnt seem to give image version:

Windows unfortunatly does not remember command line history, but IIRC it was something like

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name=grafana grafana/grafana

the command to launch influx was similar with the names and ports changed.

Have you used docker in the past?

Dabbled in it -

11

you have the 170 ip prefix, why did you choose that? what is ip of grafana. what shared network are both containers in?

I would recommend for now, you try running grafana and influx outside of docker in windows itself running .exe

12

The 170 prefix is what’s assigned by the bridge network in Docker - its not something I setup. The shared network is the default bridge one.

I don’t really have the option of not using Docker in present environment.

Try testing the connectivity from Grafana to InfluxDB.

docker exec -it <grafana-container-name> sh

Then:

curl -v http://170.17.0.3:8086/health
