What do you see in the grafana log?
You have titled this “Unable to connect to Grafana server” whereas the error you describe is a failure to start the server, not connect to it.

Thank you for responding. Yes. I think the error is datasource provisioning error. The logs are below.
I am using Grafana for the first time, and since I could not generate a dashboard even after following all the steps in the various tutorials I watched. I landed up modifying the.ini file and sample.yaml file in datasource directory.

Also want to bring to your notice that., Grafana UI does not run on 127.0.0.1/localhost. And I modified the grafana.ini file to 10.0.2.16 on port 3000 and I could login into Grafana UI. And since I was trying to use Graphite, I suppose, I would have landed up changing some configuration which lead me to this issue.

Please help me resolve the issue.
