[Solved] Add Dashboard with Grafana


TaiChar

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Grafana + InfluxDB + UnTelegraf:

wonderfull Tutorial by panzerschreck, everything works fine. I created a nice Dashboard and everything is working, but

 

how do i replace the unraid Dashboard with the one created in Grafana?

Alternatively, how do i add a second Dashboard with Grafana between "Dashboard" and "Main"?

 

Greets and Thanks

Custom Tab plugin.

I Had to change the "X-Frame-Options=sameorigin" option in grafana from false to true.

And I had to activate the kiosk mode "google for grafana on tv"

After that Custom Tab works fine.


In "Management Access" you can choose that your own Dashboard is shown after Login.

Perfect thanks

 

I added a screenshot.

Any hints on how to do this "I Had to change the "X-Frame-Options=sameorigin" option in grafana from false to true."

I found in the security settings

x_content_type_optionsfalse

x_xss_protectionfalse

Which I assume will allow me to get where I need to go but for the life of me cannot find the grafana.ini config file to edit.

Change Grafana.ini from:

Quote

# set to true if you want to allow browsers to render Grafana in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed> or <object>. default is false.
;allow_embedding = false

to:

Quote

# set to true if you want to allow browsers to render Grafana in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed> or <object>. default is false.
allow_embedding = true

Where to find Grafana.ini?

 

 

 

Quote

goto a folder you can access over the network, this is optional if you edit the file over the commandline, otherwise go to a random temporary folder you can write to

cd /mnt/user/appdata/

 

copy Grafana.ini to the current folder "Grafana" is the name of the docker container. Standart is "Grafana"

docker cp Grafana:/etc/grafana/grafana.ini .
 

make grafana.ini writable

chmod -777 grafana.ini

 

edit grafana.ini over the network with notepad or notepad++ or within the commandline with nano vii, etc.

 

copy grafana.ini back

docker cp grafana.ini Grafana:/etc/grafana/grafana.ini

 

restart Grafana

i did it over the GUI, so i don't know the commandline command

Thanks, I have made the changes for "allow_embedding = true" but this still does not allow me to put it in a custom tab.

 

I can see in Grafana that the change is active, any other suggestions?

Does the custom tab show nothing or the Grafana login?

A Lovely empty screen, totally blank.

The default webUI for grafana is http.  A browser enforced security provision is that if you access your server via https, then you cannot have an iframe of http.  Whether or not you can access grafana via https is a different story.  I don't know

Makes sense and leads to a wonderful headache @TaiCharhow did you manage to get past this? You mention X-Frame-Options=sameorigin in one of your post but I am unable to find this in the Grafana config file.

yes, by setting "allow_embedding = true" this won't be send anymore. was the ";" deleted at the beginning of the line?

 

Is the custom tab setting correct?

see screenshot?

I edited three lines in the grafana.ini

the one mentioned for embedding and two for the kiosk mode of grafana.

 

 

[auth.anonymous]
enabled = true

org_name = Main

 

but this is only to see the dashboard without logging in. If not set you should see the login screen.

Hi,

 

This is the relevant line from the Grafana.ini

image.png.967c8166576c23174dee804d11081601.png

 

And my Custom tab matches yours apart from the Tab Name and Width and Height (which i tried copying just to be on the safe side).

 

Just very odd. I take it that you are running via SSL for the UNRAID box itself?

No, no SSL. I am using Unraid within my own homenetwork only, no need for SSL.

Does it work without SSL?

Which explains why yours is working, I use SSL even though it is on my own network. I have turned off SSL and it works and then back on and it does not, which is exactly what Squid was saying.

Now to see if it is possible to get Grafana to use SSL or some other way around it.

So after looking around I can see it is possible to run Grafana with SSL just a bit of work needed, also I read this as well

 

From the 6.8.0-rc1 release notes:

webgui: If a page is loaded via https, prevent it from loading resources via http (ie, block mixed content)

 

Which I happen to be running so if I read this correctly I would need the SSL on Grafana to load it as a Custom Tab?

Actually, nothing to do with it.  What that change is doing is blocking any image as an example being loaded via http if you're on https

 

The issue is that its a browser enforced security system where an iframe cannot be displayed if the frame is HTTP and the main page is HTTPS, and has been in place for years.  There is no way around that* short of

or disabling SSL on your server.

 

 

* There is one way around it that I experimented with, which is where I run a script to download the appropriate http page, and then display that within the iframe via https.  But, any auxiliary support files referenced within (eg the CSS) don't get loaded, which means that in the end the success rate doing this and having it actually look right is so close to zero percent that it might as well be.
