Hi Michael,

Please see this post as it seems you might have the same issue:

Hi Usman,

i dont have the same issue. It seems that my IP is blocked from grafana side. As you can see a simple curl or wget is not working. So it is not possible for me to download the new key.

BR,
Michael

What is your Geo location?

“ip”:“194.36.146.27”
“city”: “Karlsruhe”,
“region”: “Baden-Wurttemberg”,
“country”: “DE”,
“loc”: “49.0111,8.3601”,
“org”: “AS197540 netcup GmbH”,
“postal”: “76185”,

So, I get the same message as you.

If I go at the link, get this message

Sorry, the requested url was not found

It’s not about the IP being blocked.

Please read the instructions at https://apt.grafana.com/

Also, I am not sure but my feeling is that you simply want to install Grafana on a Debian.

For that you simply follow our installation guide:

OR more easier:

Let us know if this helps.

Good Morning Usaman,

i am sorry but grafana was long running on our Server. Did regualary updates etc…

I get:

monitoring ~ # mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings/
monitoring ~ # wget -q -O - https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/keyrings/grafana.gpg

It is a simple 403. Access Denied. On other Hosts it is working. The Issue is only related to this Server…

Whats the problem here ?

Just curious to know if you are using Grafana OSS or a Enterprise version?

OSS Version. Dont understand why the IP or a Range is blocked…
