What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
- Grafana v12.3.0 (20051fb1fc) on Docker container, over Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
-
What are you trying to achieve?
- I created a couple of recording rules, that are getting metrics from a datasource to build time-series data from it
-
How are you trying to achieve it?
- I’m using provisioning to create the Recording rules from a YAML file:
-
apiVersion: 1 groups: - orgId: 1 name: evalgroup-recordingrules-1m folder: alerts-folder interval: 1m rules: - uid: af5ti531c4ttsa title: Active Session Count data: - refId: A queryType: alerting relativeTimeRange: from: 600 to: 0 datasourceUid: samm-citrixodata-datasource model: count: true datasource: type: samm-citrixodata-datasource uid: samm-citrixodata-datasource entitySet: entityType: Citrix.Monitor.DataService.V4.Session name: Sessions expression: "" filterConditions: - operator: eq property: name: ConnectionState type: Edm.Int32 value: "5" instant: true intervalMs: 1000 maxDataPoints: 43200 properties: - name: UserId type: Edm.Int64 queryType: alerting range: false refId: A timeProperty: null - refId: B datasourceUid: __expr__ model: conditions: - evaluator: params: - 0 - 0 type: gt operator: type: and query: params: [] reducer: params: [] type: avg type: query datasource: name: Expression type: __expr__ uid: __expr__ expression: A intervalMs: 1000 maxDataPoints: 43200 reducer: last refId: B type: reduce isPaused: false record: metric: ctxdaassessiontimeseries from: B targetDatasourceUid: c3a5e98c-6e94-44b8-b894-ae05241051b7 - uid: ff5tiqkkund34c title: Disconnected Session Count data: - refId: A relativeTimeRange: from: 600 to: 0 datasourceUid: samm-citrixodata-datasource model: datasource: type: samm-citrixodata-datasource uid: samm-citrixodata-datasource entitySet: entityType: Citrix.Monitor.DataService.V4.Session name: Sessions filterConditions: - operator: eq property: name: ConnectionState type: Edm.Int32 value: "2" hide: false intervalMs: 1000 maxDataPoints: 43200 properties: - name: UserId type: Edm.Int64 refId: A timeProperty: null - refId: B datasourceUid: __expr__ model: conditions: - evaluator: params: [] type: gt operator: type: and query: params: - B reducer: params: [] type: last type: query datasource: type: __expr__ uid: __expr__ expression: A intervalMs: 1000 maxDataPoints: 43200 reducer: last refId: B type: reduce isPaused: false record: metric: ctxdaasdisconsessiontimeseries from: B targetDatasourceUid: c3a5e98c-6e94-44b8-b894-ae05241051b7

What happened?
- Getting errors on the provisioned recording rule: “remote write failed: data source uid not specified and no default set”
- and also on grafana logs:
-

-
What did you expect to happen?
- Recording rule SHOULD work. The provisioning file has the datasource ID for my prometheus datasource, and that datasource is defined as default (and writable):
-
Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
- Adding related section from my datasource provisioning file:
-
apiVersion: 1 datasources: - name: samm-prometheus type: prometheus uid: c3a5e98c-6e94-44b8-b894-ae05241051b7 url: http://mimir:8080/prometheus isDefault: true access: proxy editable: true jsonData: httpHeaderName1: X-Scope-OrgID httpMethod: POST manageAlerts: true prometheusType: Mimir prometheusVersion: 2.9.1 cacheLevel: 'High' disableRecordingRules: false incrementalQueryOverlapWindow: 10m pdcInjected": false secureJsonData: httpHeaderValue1: <headervalue>

Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
- Errors already pasted before.
-
Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
First of all, apologies if I didn’t set the proper section. I didn’t found anything dedicated to Recording Rules, and Alerting is the best match for this. I am at a loss, since the datasource ID matches the recording rule definition.
