Good to know @rlkoshak and thanks for the information. I don’t know where to look then. The influxdb.persist works with every other item, it logs without issues and displays in graphana, but no trace of any attempt or try of the icloud binding to persist the changes. I am quite new to this world, so could anyone let me know how could I report such issue and where? ---

> [@BenderCy](#): > > but no trace of any attempt or try of the icloud binding to persist the changes. I recommend posting a new thread to address this specific issue. Post your relevant Item definitions and .persit file. Look in your logs for errors. Look in your events.log to verify that your Items are in fact being updated. ---

Yes, that’s all checked. No errors or warnings in the logs (after enabling those via cli). No trace of any error or attempt to persist that item, while everything else does get its way to Influx without issues. ---

> [@juelicher](#): > > In the javascript console I see a “same origin error”, probably because grafana listens on port 3000 and my openhab on port 9080, so these don’t match.

If you haven’t fixed it yet @juelicher, recently [some documentation about this issue](https://github.com/wborn/smarthome-grafana#reverse-proxy-configuration) got added. ---

I’ve just clean installed Openhab 2.2 and used the install tool within openhabian-config to add influxDB and Grafana, but I too cannot find the .ini file to edit to enable anonymous login so the charts work in Basic UI. I’ve got the data logging and persisting, but just can’t get the graphs to display in Basic UI. I had this working in 2.1 but just can’t get it to in 2.2 ---

did you try to find it yet? ```auto sudo find / -name grafana.ini ``` would do the trick. If there is none: Did you already start grafana once? Maybe the file is generated while first startup. ---

hey guys, I came across a small issue: In habpanel, when I use the image that created by grafana’s direct link rendered image, the image can not auto refresh unless I hit F5 to refesh the page, I am not sure if this is even can call a bug… but how could u guys deal with this situation? Do we have a rules that can “trigger auto refresh(re-generate) the image” or do I somehow, I don’t know how, make grafana auto generate the image by a period of time say 5min? or should I deal with the “auto F5 refresh” thing to the browser side(chrome in this case)? ---

sorry, grafana works, inluxdb also. i see a my graph in grafana and also with ```auto Direct link rendered image ``` in my browser URL: ```auto http://192.168.1.208:3000/render/dashboard-solo/db/gaszaehler?orgId=1&panelId=1&from=1516538410937&to=1516560010937&theme=light&width=1000&height=500&tz=UTC%2B01%3A00 ``` OH: ```auto Image refresh=60000 url="http://192.168.1.208:3000/render/dashboard-solo/db/new-dashboard-copy?orgId=1&panelId=1&from=1516535365910&to=1516556965911&width=1000&height=500&tz=UTC%2B01%3A00" ``` i had edit the /etc/grafana/grafana.ini file ```auto [users] # disable user signup / registration allow_sign_up = false ``` ```auto [auth.anonymous] # enable anonymous access enabled = true ``` but no image in Openhab ☹ EDIT runs now seems there is a bug in grafana. if i rename my dashboard, the URL seems wrong. in the url i find my old name. ---

Hi, I’m also fighting a terrible fight against Grafana being used behind a nginx reverse proyx (openHABian image). My problem is: This address in the sitemap (Image url=)… ```auto http://:3000/render/dashboard-solo/db/temperaturen?orgId=1&panelId=3&width=1000&height=500 ``` mutates into this when I check the address of the image in Firefox under BasicUI: ```auto http:///proxy?sitemap=home.sitemap&widgetId=030101&t=1517183948343 ``` I have no idea where this transformation happened and what I have to do to make the generated PNG file available for my sitemap. Webview works well, but I also want to have the graphs on my iPhone, so they are no option for me. I tried it the past four hours and read more or less all tutorials and threads regarding this topic here, but maybe I missed something… Any hint appreciated - thank you ---

Is anyone here successfully running Influx 1.4? I originally installed 1.2, which seemed ok. Someone had mentioned they used 1.4, so I switched to that. About that time, the zwave events stopped being stored, though LocalWeather values still persisted. Yet those also are now no longer persisting. Any thoughts, including a retreat to 1.2? ![DataGapsInInflux](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/f/4/f43062b98c6c24bd0fff0e814155a4ee29f2ac18.png) ---
