I have followed the directions located on http://docs.grafana.org/installation/windows/.
On the Windows 2016 Server - performed steps below:
-
Copied the grafana-5.1.2.windows-x64.zip bits to C:\Grafana
-
I installed MySQL 5.7 and used the root password below in the custom.ini
-
Created/updated c:\Grafana\conf\custom.ini sections below:
…
- (Note: IIS is not installed)
http_port = 80
…
domain = myservername
…
[database]
type = mysql
host = 127.0.0.1:3306
name = grafana
user = root - Note: same password used in MySQL install
password = mysqlrootpassword
…
[auth.ldap]
enabled = true
config_file = C:\Grafana\conf\ldap.toml
allow_sign_up = true
…
-
Configured C:\Grafana\conf\ldap.toml -
Downloaded nssm prelease build 2.2.4-101 build for Windows 10
I then copied the 64-bit version of nssm.exe to C:\Windows\ -
Ran command below to install the Grafana-NSSM service
c:\windows\nssm.exe install Grafana-NSSM
Note: I use the GUI install so I can add Description notes and browsed to c:\Grafana\bin\grafana-server.exe
Service Status Issue – it is paused
C:\Windows>nssm status Grafana-NSSM
SERVICE_PAUSED
What am I missing??
I’ve also tried using both the 2.24 and pre-release 64-bit versions of nssm.exe in C:\windows and the appnoconsole registry option (which I’ve found as a suggestion for Windows 10 services built via nssm).
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Grafana-NSSM\Parameters
AppNoConsole=1
Same Issue.
C:\Windows>nssm start Grafana-NSSM
Grafana-NSSM: Unexpected status SERVICE_PAUSED in response to START control.
Here are the App Event Log events.
The six events happen three times when trying to start the service.

It appears to work, but nothing happens or runs as a process.
