strange, no other reports on this failing.

Is your postgres connection details correct? Is Postgres up and running? If you wait a few minutes do you see anything else in log? (looks like it hanged)

3

Nope. i could not see any thing in the log

yes postgres db is running. if i remove the session configuration, i can restart grafana. i am suspecting to look for configuration. My sesssion configuration in this format. is there any thing wrong in my configuration.

FYI:-

postgres: user=**** password=***** host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=**** sslmode=disable

4 
[session]
provider = postgres
provider_config = user=DBUSER password=XXXX  host=DBHOST port=5432 dbname=grafana sslmode=disabled

important that dbname=grafana (or the name of your grafana database)

5

Yes DB is correct. But whenever i restart the grafana service. i found this error in postgresql log.

FYI:-

that is strange, something wrong with your grafana db? Try removing the grafana db and recreate it, Grafana should recreate the schema

7

Even i m facing the same issues in new database as well.

8

what version of postgres are you using?

9

I m using postgresql9.4

10

I had this issue when I wrapped the username and password in quotes. I removed the quotes and everything worked as it should.

11

I have just run in to a similar issue where i could not connect to the database. I solved the issue by wrapping the whole config in “”“triple quotes”"" to treat it as literal and Grafana was able to start.
