r/grafana

I have the SQL needed to reset my admin password to a known bcrypt hash value, but I can't get it to work.

I'm running the SQLitebrowser as Docker on my unRaid 7.3.1, but when I try to go to the directory for my appdata, the mnt directory shows as empty.

I've tried running the SQLite Browser from my Windows PC using the shared folder for AppData. Even though I have the share set as Public, I can't save the changes as I get an error message that states "Error changing data: unable to open database file".

I've tried opening the console from my unRaid dashboard. I can change directories to /mnt/user/appdata/grafana to see my grafana.db file. I then run the SQL

UPDATE user
SET password = 'new_hashed_password'
WHERE login = 'admin';

That seems to work (no error message). I then try select * from user, but the new hashed password is not saved.

Can someone tell me what I should be doing, or what I'm doing wrong with my selected avenues of change>

Translate PromQL, LogQL, and TraceQL into optimized CH SQL — keep Grafana, swap the backend.

Hello there!

I've developed couple of grafana dashboards in azure managed instance and want to plan some deployment process for them to automatically push them to further environments from dev. Ideally, I would like to have some git sync between dev grafana and azure devops git repo and some ado pipelines that take synced json files, adjust and push to prod by cli. For now i can't even find git sync option in azure managed grafana (is it only available in self-hosted version?). Do you know any other solution for above? I would like to avoid manual export to json and commit to repo.

I’ve been building a Telemetry dashboard for Assetto Corsa for the last couple of months. I’ve predominantly been playing / racing open wheel cars such as F1 and hence very much themed around that.

You can install by running this
irm https://www.sugarollymountain.com/downloads/ac-telemetry/install.ps1 | iex

It will also install a Python app that you will need to enable in the Assetto Corsa setting screen (same screen where you select your HUD options)

I’ve also added a track guide and AI Coach with two options

1. Add your own AI API key
2. Purchase Tokens (sorry I can’t afford to give them away)

The dash works well without the AI Coach, it was just something I was interested in.

Full instructions can be found in the readme

Please be kind as this is a hobby / learning project

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice from people who have built monitoring platforms for Managed Service Providers.

We're currently using PRTG, but we're planning to replace it with a more modern and scalable monitoring stack.

## Requirements

- Multi-tenancy for both **metrics** and **logs**
- Ability to build dashboards that are:
- Customer-specific (e.g. Customer A → Hosts 1–100)
- Cross-customer (e.g. Host 1 from every customer on a single dashboard)
- Retention of **1 year** for both metrics and logs
- Alerting with:
- Alert grouping
- Acknowledgements
- Comments on alerts
- Web UI and mobile app support

## Preferred Approach

Ideally, we'd like to stay as close to the Prometheus ecosystem as possible.

Some customer environments already have InfluxDB, but if possible I'd like to avoid maintaining multiple time-series databases and standardize on a single stack.

Is a "Prometheus-only" (or Prometheus ecosystem) approach realistic for this use case?

## Environment

We currently manage approximately:

- ~50 customers
- 35-node Ceph cluster
- ~200 firewalls
- Juniper switches
- Linux servers
- Windows servers
- VMware
- Proxmox
- Hyper-V

## Questions

- What monitoring stack would you build today for an MSP?
- Would you use Prometheus + Mimir + Loki + Grafana, or something completely different?
- How do you implement multi-tenancy?
- What do you use for alert management (acknowledgements, comments, escalation, mobile app, etc.)?
- Would you completely eliminate InfluxDB, or are there good reasons to keep it around?

I'd really appreciate hearing about real-world architectures and lessons learned from anyone running monitoring at MSP scale.

I was thinking of Prometheus, Loki, Alloy, Grafana, Mimir?

Thanks!

I don't consider myself as experienced Grafana user, but I came with a task to monitor my website. And oh gosh... experience of setting this up was so nice, that I even made a video about it :)

Has anyone ever provisioned mute timings via yaml files? I am able to deploy alert rules quite well using this method, but noticed that the provisioned alert rules don't seem to adhere to the UI based mute timing intervals. so i was going through the pains of setting up yaml version of mute timings as well. not having much luck there. curiuos if anyone got this working.

things i've tried:
setting up a mute_timing.yaml file with a very basic window (23:00-23:59 & 00:00-07:15). deployed (alphabetically per AI so it loads first). file deploys fine, but getting the alert rules to use it seems to break everytime. put the name into notification_settings: of the alert rule breaks. tried building a policies.yaml to include it there and reference the same contact point(s) and name of the mute_time_interval there. tried adding the mute timing directly to the alert rule(s). nothing seemingly working for me here.
