I’m having the same issue

Hello, try to insert “http://” before your ip adress.

Helped me once.

Edit: after I changed my InfluxDB from 192.168.1.10:8086 to http://192.168.1.10:8086 I didn’t get this anymore but I still get the “Failed to send alert notifications” error.

Source: Grafana 7, Alerting issue, error:"tsdb.HandleRequest() … unsupported protocol scheme “influxdb”

Already did that but I’m still having the problem.

Mentioned that in the other topic.
