Hi, I have installed marcusolsson-csv-datasource plugin but unfortunately I’m not able to reach my csv using the local path. I have tried using testdata option and copied my data inside grafana/public/testdata path but the same case it does not recognize my file.
I’ll appreciate if you could help me on this matter.
Kind regards,
Zuhoor
To read CSV on the local machine, you need to allow local mode. Let me know if the problem persists after you’ve enabled this.
How about the issue of grafana telling me that the number of fields are incorrect
If one uses the CSV datasource to read a CSV file on a local drive (e.g. a NAS drive), would the URL path be something like this?
\\192.168.10.199\Export\Orders_03-17-2022.csv
or this?
P:\Export\Orders_03-17-2022.csv
I don’t know enough about Windows to say for sure, though due to this issue, you’d need to use forward-slashes on Windows:
This should work:
P:/Export/Orders_03-17-2022.csv
Thanks @marcusolsson I am running Grafana on a Debian Linux machine (not Windows). Given that, do I still use forward-slashes? I have tried many variations of the file path with no success. I though for sure that
\\192.168.10.199\Export\Orders_03-17-2022.csv
would work.
For any Linux (or macOS) machine, you should use forward-slashes. Running pwd in the directory should give you the correct path.
Thanks Marcus. For Grafana running on a Debian Linux machine accessing a .csv file on a local NAS (Synology), I mounted the drive and here is what worked:
//synology-nas/Files/Export/abc/abc_Late_Orders_03-24-2022.csv
cool… It works!!! Thanks @marcusolsson
Hi Marcus Olsson, I’m in desperate need of your helping, I wrote local path but Grafana gives me this error: stat /home/kali/Data/data.csv: permission denied. what should ı do?
Link to doc is outdated. Correct link Configuration | CSV for Grafana
