are you still blocked on this?

[vinod9devops]

Upon updating the existing file /etc/grafana/grafana.ini with the otlp block with reference to the latest grafana.ini file made for grafana version 9.0.2, the issue got resolved

[ebouxirot]

i’m also stuck starting grafana 9.0.2.

what is the “otip” block ??

Eric.

[padlefot]

For me, adding (the otip block):

[tracing.opentelemetry.otlp]

and

[tracing.opentelemetry]

to the end of /usr/share/grafana/conf/defaults.ini made grafana start again,

you may have to add it to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini instead, depending on where grafana reads its config file from.

@padlefot thanks a ton. It worked. adding the telemetry block will resolve the issue. As an alternate, we can replace the complete defaults.ini content with the GitHub repo and fine-tune the values as per the required environment.
