Grafana Panic when expression used

Grafana MSSQL
,
1

Hi all.

I’m trying to use expression over a MS SQL Server. With builded version 8.4.3/8.4.4 available for download no problem at all (expression is correctly parsed and executed) while I cannot use it if I compile myself grafana from source (both in Windows11 and Ubuntu): i get a “runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference” and grafana crashes.This problem happens only if I create/is already created an expression (e.g. SQLSRV queries A and B, expr $A - $B)

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Thanks

If both Queries outputs are from the same server and float / int I presume, why don’t you do the logic in MSSQL in one query in SSMS first and then Grafana, could be a random calculation of your data that’s causing an issue

I figured out what the issue was. Building grafana with the latest version of Go (1.18) gives error, while no problems occur when Go1.17.x is used.

This was recently fixed in both 8.5.x and 8.4.x. I finally updated to 8.5.2 and confirmed the problem is gone.
