I am running Grafana in a self-hosted docker container. Installed the MongoDB plugin, grafana-mongodb-datasource.
When I go to configure the plug-in I receive the following error message after pressing “Save & test”
When I follow the link to the pricing page, the “Free” tier benefits include “All Enterprise plugins for 3 users”:
So I guess my questions are:
- is the mongodb plugin for the self-hosted version really included in the Free tier?
- if so, where and how do I download the license token file and add it to my configuration?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
That’s for Grafana Cloud “free tier”. Grafana Cloud != self-hosted Grafana.
Of course, you can still buy an Enterprise license and then have self-hosted Grafana Enterprise with valid license, where the enterprise plugins will be working.
So, is my understanding correct, the only way to integrate MongoDB with Grafana running self hosted is to purchase an enterprise license?
Yes, if you are talking about that particular enterprise plugin provided by Grafana vendor.
No, if you can use 3rd party MongoDB Grafana plugins - of course you may expect lower quality, support only from that 3rd party, … Or you can write own mongodb plugins.
