Hi @vgmanasa24,
There was recently a similar question asked on our GitHub page. Please follow it as it explains how to get the Phlare in the newest Grafana version.
I hope this helps.
@usman.ahmad I had followed that, but I still can’t get it upgraded from 8.3.5 to 9.3 , I don’t get errors, but after restart the grafana server and when i check the version its still the same.
sudo dpkg -i grafana_9.3.0~87537pre_amd64.deb

Hi @vgmanasa24,
Just to understand better. you have not yet upgraded your Grafana server (still using ver. 8.5.3) but somehow have Phlare installed (as running on port 4100)?
Yes correct @usman.ahmad
I also tried on my personal laptop, I have installed 9.3 pre version there and installed & configured Phlare , but still not seem to show up under Datasources. I did not receive any errors, the job was syncing and the service status is ready when checked. Please advice if I have missed anything
Hi @vgmanasa24,
Thanks for the reply.
So, I tried to test it out on my VM while using CentOS and it seems that Phlare is available in the Nightly-build version (grafana-9.4.0~89154pre-1).
Once it got installed I had to do one extra step i.e. to enable it from the configuration file. For that, I went into /etc/grafana/grafana.ini and under the section of feature_toggles enabled phlare i.e.
[feature_toggles]
enable = flameGraph
Then I restarted grafana and once I search in the data sources, it was available there.
I attached a screencast (open it in a new window as will be easier to zoom in and view more clearly)
I hope this helps else let us know your feedback.
Hey @usman.ahmad
Sorry for late response.
Let me check installing the same version and keep you posted if any issues. Thank you very much!
Hi @vgmanasa24,
Thanks for testing and providing screenshots. I am really not sure why it does not work for you.
We would appreciate it if you can open a bug report about this in our official GitHub repository using this link.
Provide all the information (you can simply copy/paste your data + screenshot from here to there).
Also, 3 important things to mention there is that :
- What download you used (e.g. for Ubuntu, RedHat etc)
- Did you use the .deb, .rpm package for installation OR used the binary source i.e. .tar.gz?
- Please write your Grafana nightly build version by using the command on your server i.e.
[root@grafana ~]# grafana-server -v
Version 9.2.3 (commit: ec9c2ed029, branch: HEAD)
And paste the output there.
Lastly, paste the link of your Github issue here so I can also track it.
Thanks
Thank you very much for your support!
