Datasource Provisioning - Can't set default datasource

Grafana Configuration
1

Hi. I have setup prometheus as a provisioned datasource, but I cannot seem to set it as the default datasource. My config is as follows:

#prometheus.yaml

apiVersion: 1
datasources:
   - name: Prometheus
   - type: prometheus 
   - access: proxy
   - url: http://localhost:9090
   - isDefault: true
   - version: 1
   - editable: false

It works great, except that it isn’t marked as the default data source so it isn’t used as the default. Here is what the config looks like in Grafana:

any ideas or information would be appreciated.

I’m currently working on how to set default with two provisioned datasources and two orgs. Did you ever figure this out?

I figured my problem out, it wasn’t the correct yaml format (it was a stupid mistake, as its correct in the very similar example in the docs.) The correct version was:

#prometheus.yaml

apiVersion: 1
datasources:
   - name: Prometheus
     type: prometheus 
     access: proxy
     url: http://localhost:9090
     isDefault: true
     version: 1
     editable: false

I was putting each line in its own dictionary within the list (as in every key:value was its own dictionary), instead of making a list with one dictionary, containing all the key values.

I am only using one org, so I don’t know about your issue. Possibly a yaml issue as well?
