Error found…
In fact I miss using Prometheus.
I was trying to create 3 Prometheus database for 3 host in stead of telling Prometheus to watch and save in his unique database the 3 hosts…

By the way I had to re-create the dashboard. I did not succeed to change in grafana the database link to dashboard.
is there a way to change it and not re-creat the dashboard?
