Internal server error

[xiaodiannao]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently playing with cadence, which comes bundled with hopsoft/graphite-statsd (which I was delighted to see btw). Launching the Grafana web UI on http://localhost:8080 works fine but now I'm facing a problem with adding Graphite as a datasource. Here are my settings:

name: graphite
default: checked
type: Graphite
url: http://locahost:81
access: proxy
basic auth: unchecked
with credentials: unchecked

If I then press "test connection" I get the following output from the statsd docker container:
2019/11/01 10:51:42 [I] Completed 127.0.0.1 - "GET /metrics/find HTTP/1.0" 500 Internal Server Error 0 bytes in 105644us
and in the Grafana interface get:

Test results
HTTP Error
Internal Server Error

Does anyone know if there is a problem with the way I'm configuring things or what the problem is?

Thanks and best regards

are you using grafana v6.x or the outdated one that comes with this docker?
this docker has an outdated copy of grafana dont use it

it seems there's a problem with using internal IP
try using your external IP (make sure it is accessible externally)
*this is pretty insecure and just "bad" but that's the only workaround i known of...

Hi @Thunder33345 thanks for your reply! Yes I'm indeed using this apparently outdated version. It is included in the docker-compose file of cadence. Which one should I use instead?

You were right with your suggestion to use the external IP btw, it works that way! The dashboard is still empty though, do you know how I can add my metrics to the dashboard?
