Not able to load local csv

[jeroenpullens]

Thank you very much for the package, but I am not able to load a local csv.

I get this error:

What to do?

The file has a chmod 777 authorization

Hi

I am also getting this error... very strange, because I tried and the grafana user can open (and edit it).

Did you manage to fix it?

[jeroenpullens]

No I haven't been able to fix it..

I think I found a fix...

1. I moved my folder containing .csv files out of my /home/pi folder (I am running on a pi too). I moved the folder to root : /analytics

2. I changed the owner of the folder and .csv files to grafana : sudo chown grafana <folder or files>

3. My folder chmod is 777, the csvs are 666.

My data sources now link without error.

Hi,

I have done the following steps and still have "stat /home/louis/Supervision/data_conso.csv: permission denied" error.

1. Installing grafana
2. Installing marcusolsson-csv-datasource with this command line
   grafana-cli plugins install marcusolsson-csv-datasource
3. Add this at the begining of my grafana.ini file
   [plugin.marcusolsson-csv-datasource]
   allow_local_mode = true
4. Run the command (as suggested before) :
   sudo chown grafana /home/louis/Supervision
   chmod 777 /home/louis/Supervision
   chmod 666 /home/louis/Supervision/data_conso.csv

It is still making the same error.

What could I try to get this resolved ?

Thanks

Grafana has it's own system account grafana.
I think Linux is restricting access to the louis home folder.
Try moving data_conso.csv to /Supervision/data_conso.csv.

Then

sudo chown grafana /Supervision ;
chmod 777 /Supervision ;
chmod 666 /Supervision/data_conso.csv ;

Hope this helps.

Anything for windows there?

For Linux the below worked for me. Still, I think the documentation page needs an update.

Setup the data source as: /usr/share/grafana/public/
Optionally add a sub folder in the data source /usr/share/grafana/public/some_folder
When creating the panel either use the csv file in the data source or the relative path to the csv file
some_folder/sample.csv
