The latest version of the official telegraf container no longer runs as root, which explains the issue.
Here I used "telegraf:latest" (i.e. 1.20.3 currently), with apt-get update and install commands in the Post Argument, and ofc that can't work without root privileges. Pulling "telegraf:1.20.2" instead (previous version running as root) solved the issue, but it's only a temporary workaround ...

I saw that on the telegraph support page.

I suppose that there can be a workaround that allow the command to run as root ?

I'll delay the telegraph update for now.

I recently update my telegraf container and now it won't start with the following error in the container logs:

 

ERROR: Unable to lock database: Permission denied

ERROR: Failed to open apk database: Permission denied

 

It was working just fine previously to updating.

 

Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

**EDIT**

 

Oh boy I should have read the previous comments. That one is on me.

Hi,

The temporary solution is actually in the post above you, change the repository in telegraf container to telegraf:1.20.2 or telegraf:1.20.2-alpine (if you are using alpine) and it should work again. They removed root permission in the latest telegraf version.

Can't write anything to influxdb - keep getting 204...

Thank you for posting this .... spent ages trying to resolve the error "dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied" from transmission accessing my dockers to report and update InfluxDB and Grafana  .. have even updated to RC version of Unriad (which has been a nice bonus) ... any how rolled Transmission back to 1.20.2 and all is running again. Thanks Gnomuz

 

I have rolled back but now I'm getting 

 

/bin/sh: 1: apk: not found

 

Nothing else has changed

if you are running alpine you should roll back to telegraf:1.20.2-alpine

I am also noticing 204 errors with v1.x but data actually seems to be written to InfluxDB. Currently running v1.x and v2.x simultaneously with telegraf v1.20.2-alpine writing to both versions. But in v2.x no errors appear. I never noticed these errors when I only had one version running.

I have fixed this issue for anyone wanting to know what the problem is
step 1: Grafana

 

Step 2: Grafana

make sure this is your local ip if your not exposing unraid or grafana to the internet and your keeping it local.

 

Step 3: Grafana 

Confirm you have the correct Encryption method selected or if your running non engcryption and apply.

Do this for every graph that uses the Unraid-API

For the record, this does not fix the issue for me.  I used the URL for my Unraid webui or the URL for the Unraid API - the images never load despite the fact that the URL itself works in its own browser.  This seems to be a common issue here.  Possibly related to the plugin?

 

For what it's worth, I'm running Grafana over an SSL reverse proxy.

i never could get this latest version to display the icons for dockers or VM's.  I guess it doesn't really matter now as development for this is gone now anyway.  Was a good run.  Thanks

Thanks for this great tool! I just spent hours working through setting it up. With fresh eyes on the install process I would like to suggest to @falconexeputting version numbers for each docker on the first post (as of today):

• docker - influxdb:1.8.4-alpine (I see there's an image of this in the first post, but I didn't realize this was a version restriction)
• docker telegraf - telegraf:1.19.2-alpine

Also, including a default telegraf.conf that matches `telegraf:1.19.2-alpine` and the panels in UUD 1.6 would be great.

 

I guess now I need a faster motherboard/CPU too because this dashboard uses ~20% of my resources lol.

@bfeist Would it be possible that you share your telegraf.conf? Everytime i startup telegraf i get log errors for some params but they should be right as far i know.

No prob. Attached.

 

telegraf.conf

Also, I found a bug in "Ultimate UNRAID Dashboard - Version 1.6 - 2021-03-20 (falconexe).json".

 

Line 6016 is currently:

"datasource": "Varken",

 

But it should be:

"datasource": "$Datasource_Varken",

 

I'm brand new to UUD. I'm following the guide and get to the point where Grafana should start (Influxdb and Telegraf are started) but it won't. Seeing the following in the Grafana log:

 

GF_PATHS_DATA='/var/lib/grafana' is not writable.
You may have issues with file permissions, more information here: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#migrate-to-v51-or-later
mkdir: can't create directory '/var/lib/grafana/plugins': Permission denied

I've tried adding :latest to the repository line but it doesn't make a difference. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

@snazz I  just ran in to this out an hour ago myself, as it's also my first time setting up UUD. The fix for me was to open a terminal session and cd in to /mnt/user/appdata, then to run "chmod a+rwX grafana". That fixed my issue.

Please forgive me for asking stupid questions.

 

I successfully installed Netdata (Docker) and i looks like all values are the same as unraid but i have to look in separate browserwindow. How does this work in this project?

 

I would like all stuff in my unraid, is this possible?

When you add the JSON-API datasource, the URL needs to end with /api/getServers

For example
http://192.168.1.99:3005/api/getServers

Thank you it's almost working now.

The icon's are not showing, what i did found out its trying to get the icon from.

https://10.20.10.13/state/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/images/idrac6-icon.png

 

My Base url is set to https://10.20.10.13

But without logging into unraid i can't get access to those icons. so i think Grafana is not able to get those icon's

is there another way to give them acces to those icon's ?

i am using Unraid Domain with valid ssl so the local ip is getting forwared can that be a problem ?

And the last thing i am not getting any VM Details.

Again thanks ALLOT and sorry for bad English. And late response.

Sincerely.

if your using a reverse proxy, then i have found that if you use the address you set up in that it works just fine, i had to do the same thing, though i am using it to access the unraid-ui as well, so if you have "unraid.yourproxiedaddress.com" to access your unraid, then that is the address you would need to use for your base url in the grafana panel's settings, not an ip address, i believe it has to do with internal translations of ip's to dns.

Welcome! I answered this in the release notes. Try right clicking any broken picture and open that link in a new tab. UNRAID should then prompt you to log in. Once you are logged into this secondary tab, go back to the UUD and refresh the dashboard “F5” or use the browser controls. Then simply close that other tab you used to authenticate (you don’t need to keep it open). As long as you don’t clear your browser cookies, you should be good to go. Glad you are making progress and enjoying the UUD.

 

 

Happy New Year everyone!!!
