I couldn’t find any similar errors that end “invalid domain name”, On other servers with similar configuration grafana is running fine without errors, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Old version - 3.0.4? Or wrong configuration, which is not supported by used version.

Yes the issue is because of the old version 3.0.4 thats on failing server on the working servers grafana version is 5.

And removing the quotes around the loop back address: 127.0.0.1 in the grafana.ini config resolved the issue.
