Help integrating Grafana system stats into Homarr's iframes.
Hi team.
My apologies for not posting in here first. I saw the chat emoji and thought this was a voice channel.
I am having the hardest time getting Grafana to integrate into Homarr's iframes. With the gracious help from Maincraft I was able to turn on Grafana's embedding variable, as well as set my dashboard to public. However I'm using the Prometheus
1860 template in Grafana which uses variables and I was told that Grafana can't use variables on public dahsboards?? I changed the variables I saw (which was just $datasource in which i just selected the Prometheus data source) but even then I can't seem to get Grafana to pass any metrics into Homarr. I can get the entire dashboard to load with UI elements in an iframe, there's just no data for those elements. And I still can't get a single UI element from Grafana to render anything in an iframe in Homarr. The entire dashboard will render but I can't seem to get just an individual element to render out when I try to just share the embed link if a single UI element (which is what I'm trying to achieve here). ANY help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen a lot of user posts showing off their dashboards with these integrations but there isn't really any documentation on how to get it all working. And I 100% know this is a Grafana issue not Homarr but I'm not really sure where else to ask for help as those users who posted their dashboards got it working, maybe they can share some knowledge on how others can achieve the same results as well?6 replies
