Unable to disable Grafana Live API

0

In my grafana helm values.yaml I have specified the following

grafana.ini:
  live:
    max_connections: 0

This is based on the documentation that says “0 disables Grafana Live”.

I have synced the Grafana StatefulSet and double checked the ConfigMap has this property set in the live manifest.

However, I am still seeing error logs in the api gateway for GET /api/live/ws returning 401 and it is coming from a grafana http route.

this issue suggests setting the env var GF_LIVE_MAX_CONNECTIONS to zero. I have done that by editing the live manifest of the StatefulSet (…spec.containers.env) but that did not work either.

I opened a shell into a pod of the StatefulSet and confirmed the environment variable is set

/usr/share/grafana $ printenv
...
GF_LIVE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=0
HOME=/home/grafana
GRAFANA_PORT_3000_TCP_PORT=3000
GRAFANA_PORT_3000_TCP_PROTO=tcp
GF_PATHS_LOGS=/var/log/grafana
...

Still seeing error logs returning 401 for GET /api/live/ws coming from Grafana.
