Problems with prometheus and browser access mode

Grafana Prometheus
1

Hi,

I get an error message when I try to watch some dashboards with server telemetry data like ram etc. This worked a few weeks back like a charm, but now I only get empty dashboards.
The errormessage is:
Browser access mode in the Prometheus datasource is no longer available. Switch to server access mode."

What can I do to get this fixed ?

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    AlmaLinux release 8.7, up to date
    grafana-9.3.2-1.x86_64

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    filling dashboards with data from prometheus, this worked allready

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

  • What happened?
    maybe somekind of update ?

  • What did you expect to happen?
    Seeing the data as allways displayed in the wonderful tool.

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
    If you tell me which one you need

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
    There was a message in the grafana UI saying:
    Browser access mode in the Prometheus datasource is no longer available. Switch to server access mode."

Any suggestions are welcome

Best regards
