Hi @trondeau,

Can you please provide some more information for e.g. which Grafana version you already have on the machine and to which version you want to upgrade?

4

rpm -qa|grep grafana

grafana-7.5.11-3.el8_6.x86_64

grafana-pcp-3.2.0-1.el8.x86_64

upgrade to 9 or even 8, nothing seems to work

I needed to chose OSS, now on 9.1.5. Thank you

Hi @trondeau and @andrewm659,

So I was searching about this grafana-pcp as it is something I do not have but seems like a very cool plugin.

However, on their GitHub page found out that there seems to be a known bug as it does not work with the newer grafana version 9.x.x

So, the best will be to report there and provide your info and then the maintainer can look into it.

Now, speaking of plain grafana oss.

Please try to update via command e.g.

yum update grafana and let the community know as if it works fo you or not.

yum update grafana stated nothing to update even though I was on 7.5.x

Thanks

Please check this documentation as should work then:
