Primer for connecting an INFLUXDB v2 data to grafana cloud?

Grafana InfluxDB
1

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? I have a client machine with data stored in InfluxDB v2. The same machine has Grafana v12.0.1. I have dashboards in the local grafana that connect to the Influx DB. It works well

  • What are you trying to achieve? I would like to be able to use the Grafana AI tools to look at the data for possible problems

  • How are you trying to achieve it? Im referring to How to use AI to analyze and visualize CAN data with Grafana Assistant | Grafana Labs but am completely new to this architecture

  • What happened? Nothing yet. Looking for a Primer on how to do this

  • What did you expect to happen?

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

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

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?

Grafana Assistant is Grafana Cloud feature:

So you need Grafana Cloud instance first. You can’t use it with your on-prem Grafana.

You may try to use third party plugins with your on-prem Grafana, e.g. Graft:

Im happy to use it in a grafana cloud instance. Id like to know how I can move data from my on-prem into a form which cloud can readily use. Currently the data resides in influxdb v2 on-prem. The on-prem grafana is used for visualizations of the time series data (weather-related).

Hi @zubenubi

It can be done by installing / configuring the Private Data Source Connect for Grafana on the server where you have InfluxDB on-prem being run and then Grafana Cloud can connect to that private server.

And Grafana AI is getting better and better, even with sources like InfluxDB:
