I have identified an issue that could be tripping up others, so thought I’d share just in case.
I am trying to automate the process of downloading a PNG of a panel. To do this, I have tried to run the following.
curl "http://example.com/render/d-solo/bhoLRgmGz/main?panelId=4&width=1000&height=500&timeout=9999999" > image.png
This has worked as expected in the past, but on Grafana v7.0.1 it failed and generated the following logs.

I then removed the timeout deceleration entirely, and it ran as expected. Weird that setting a two hour timeout makes it time out in 2 seconds, but not setting a timeout whatsoever lets it run. I notice that an additional “000” was added on the end of the timeout variable, so is it only looking at that and interpreting it to mean timeout at 0ms? Not sure. It seems to work without it though.
Hope this helps someone.
