Grafana not displaying data

This guide is for identifying configuration mistakes in self-hosted Supabase Grafana installations

Step 1: Ping your Grafana endpoint#

Use the below cURL command to make sure your metrics endpoint returns data:

1
curl https://<YOUR_PROJECT_REF>.supabase.co/customer/v1/privileged/metrics --user 'user:<SECRET_API_KEY>'

Step 2: Set your Grafana Dashboard to auto-refresh in the top right corner#

Step 3: Make sure your docker container has the default configurations#

Run the following command in the terminal:

1
docker ps -f name=supabase-grafana

The output should look something like this:

Here it is in an easier to read format

1
- CONTAINER ID: < container id >
2
- IMAGE: supabase-grafana-supabase-grafana
3
- COMMAND: /entrypoint.sh
4
- CREATED: < time >
5
- STATUS: Up < unit of time > ago
6
- PORTS: 3000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8000 → 8080/tcp
7
- NAMES: supabase-grafana-supabase-grafana-1

Step 4: Enter the container#

Try running the following terminal command:

1
docker exec -it <container id> bash

Step 5: Check the environment variables for errors#

Run the following in the docker container:

1
printenv | egrep 'GRAFANA_PASSWORD|SUPABASE_PROJECT_REF|SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY'

Ensure the values are correct by comparing them with those in the Dashboard. Users have previously encountered issues by accidentally omitting the last character of their strings, so a thorough check is essential.

Step 6: Go to the root folder and check permissions on the entrypoint.sh file#

Run the following terminal commands:

1
cd /
2
ls -l | grep entrypoint.sh

entrypoint.sh should have the following permissions:

1
-rwxr-xr-x

If off, update the values

1
chmod +x entrypoint.sh
