What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
v8.2.4 on Debian 10 (buster) -
What are you trying to achieve?
Upgrade from 7.x (don’t recall exact previous version, sorry) -
How are you trying to achieve it?
Per the website, downloaded the latest 8.2.4 package then ran:
sudo dpkg -i grafana_<version>_amd64.deb
Using the actual filename, not . Also ran as suggested:
grafana-cli plugins update-all
- What happened?
The web UI won’t load, connection is refused. Checking ss shows that port 3000 isn’t in use. Ufw shows 3000 is open to any, as are other ports. Nmap shows 3000 as closed, supporting the ufw configuration.
Systemd shows running, but the status log is always changing. Running tail on the grafana.log seems to show it stuck in an infinite loop with the following:

/usr/share/grafana/conf/defaults.ini looks like default config file. Too large to post for forum restrictions.
- Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
See logs from the ‘what happened’ section. I’ve tried copying defaults.ini to grafana.ini and vice versa, but in both situations, restarting the service via systemd fails with exit-code.
Baffling that the original 7.x grafan.ini needs to be in etc and the default.ini sample config needs to be in the /usr/share for systemd to run successfully with the unsuccessful infinite loop.
- Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
Upgrade Grafana | Grafana documentation
I’ve banged my head against the wall a good bit and been through a lot of forum posts. May be just easier to start fresh with Grafana? Not sure where to start with it if anyone has some good documentation on that.
Been using grafana 7 with Prometheus for about 6 months. Such an amazing set of tools, shoutout to everyone involved.
