unable to configure grafana with graphite

Question

I am using Nginx to serve both graphite and grafana (they are all running on the same server - not my desktop). I am able to access graphite via Nginx. However, grafana cannot

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the OP has resolved their problem yet or not, but here's what worked for me:

I put graphite and grafana on the same site. Graphite exists at the root and grafana within /grafana/

This solves the cross site scripting problem without having to setup CORS: graphite and grafana are on the same site.

nginx site configuration:

upstream graphite {
    server unix:///var/uwsgi/graphite-web.sock;
}

server {
    listen 8080;
    listen [::]:8080 ipv6only=on;

    root /usr/share/graphite-web/;

    server_name localhost;

    location /static {
            alias /usr/share/graphite-web/static;
    }

    location /grafana {
            alias /usr/share/graphite-web/grafana;
    }


    location / {
            uwsgi_pass graphite;
            include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
    }
}

To access grafana, I therefore go to:

http://192.168.1.1:8080/grafana

(192.168.1.1 is my server's ip address)
