Hello,  
I use version v7.4.3 on a raspberry Pi.  
I want to show the second y-axis on the right site. On the left side there should be a tempreature and on the right side power. But I get no scale for the right side and I don’t understand why?  
If I put numbers to the fields min, max and decimals nothing changes. Maybe you can help me? Thank you!  
Regards  
Thomas

welcome @obstbauer

You have an ancient version of grafana. newer version might have what you need?

thanks for the answer  
I tried this:

Grafana automatically updates when you run `apt-get upgrade`.

with sudo but I still have the same version  
So I guess soemthing is wrong with my upgrade process ?

Well:

1. Does the output of “apt-get upgrade” suggest to you that a newer version of  
Grafana is getting installed? After all, “apt-get upgrade” is just a generic  
package upgrade process, which may or may not include Grafana.

2. Did you restart Grafana after performing the upgrade?

3. How are you determining which version you currently have?

4. What’s the output of “apt-cache policy grafana”?

Antony.

1. No

2. Yes

3. I can see it on my grafana site and with `grafana-cli -v`

4. `pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache policy grafana grafana: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: `

I had some errors because of my influx db because of this key, but I fixed it, now there are no errors if I perform update or upgrade commands

I tried the commands:

`sudo apt full-upgrade`  
`sudo apt upgrade`  
`sudo apt-get update`  
`sudo apt-get upgrade`

</div>

$ apt-cache policy grafana  
grafana:  
Installed: (none)  
Candidate: (none)

This basically means you did not install Grafana as a .deb package (and  
possibly don’t even have a repository for it in sources.list), and therefore  
apt cannot upgrade it.

only you can answer that because we dont know how you installed the original one.

the other approach is to install new version of it in another folder, start it then stop it. then copy the data folder and the conf folder. I don’t know if that would work as I am not sure what OS and how you installed it. it depends.
