Help Integrating Grafana Into Homarr Via iframe

Grafana Dashboards
1

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Grafana v11.6.1 (ae23ead4d9) Unraid Docker

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    Integrating Grafana dashboard elements into Homarr via iframe.

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    I use the Share link from Grafana UI elements and paste that into Homarr’s iframe.

  • What happened?
    I see the UI element but there is no data connected to it.

  • What did you expect to happen?
    For it to work and look the same as it does in Grafana’s webpage.

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
    I’m using the Prometheus 1860 template for my data source and dashboard in Grafana.

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
    Nope

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
    What instructions? I’ve been to several community posts and reddit posts but nothing outlines how to get these two apps to communicate.

Hello everyone,
I am having the hardest time getting Grafana to integrate into Homarr’s iframes. I was able to turn on Grafana’s embedding variable, as well as set my dashboard to public. However I’m using the Prometheus 1860 template in Grafana which uses variables and I was told that Grafana can’t use variables on public dashboards?? I changed the variables I saw (which was just $datasource in which i just selected the Prometheus data source) but even then I can’t seem to get Grafana to pass any metrics into Homarr. I can get the entire dashboard to load with UI elements in an iframe, there’s just no data for those elements. And I still can’t get a single UI element from Grafana to render anything in an iframe in Homarr. The entire dashboard will render but I can’t seem to get just an individual element to render out when I try to just share the embed link if a single UI element (which is what I’m trying to achieve here). ANY help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. I’ve seen a lot of user posts showing off their dashboards with these integrations but there isn’t really any documentation on how to get it all working. Maybe those users can share some knowledge on how others can achieve the same results as well?

I’m in an Unraid docker environment if that matters, and I plan on using a reverse proxy to get to my dashboard once it’s all setup and working.
