Two Zabbix servers as datasource

Two Zabbix servers as datasource

[alexanderzobnin]

Now Grafana don't support custom parameters in datasourse configuration. For this reason username and password now sets in plugin.json file. If your servers have different accounts you will have some troubles with configuration. Once solution is copy datasource directory and change parameters in plugin.json file:

{
  "pluginType": "datasource",
  "name": "Zabbix 2",

  "type": "zabbix_2",
  "serviceName": "ZabbixAPIDatasource",

  "module": "plugins/datasource/zabbix_2/datasource",

  "partials": {
    "config": "app/plugins/datasource/zabbix_2/partials/config.html",
    "query": "app/plugins/datasource/zabbix_2/partials/query.editor.html",
    "annotations": "app/plugins/datasource/zabbix_2/partials/annotations.editor.html"
  },

  "username": "user2",
  "password": "password2",

This problem will be fixed at Grafana 2.1.

Hi Alexander,
first of all thank you for your answer. I've tried this approach but with no much luck. Both servers seem to interfere with each other. I have a dashboard with graphs from both servers and whenever one of them works, the other one doesn't. Any plan C?
Do you know when Grafana 2.1 is expected to be released?

Thank you very much.

@kadern0, this configuration is tested and works. So please show you plugins directory structure and and plugin.json of both. And screenshots of datasource settings in Grafana

As remark, I can get data from both servers (so connection/password  problems are out the way), but not at the same time.

[nucleusv]

If I've understood you right, you CAN get graphs of the same datasource on one dashboard BUT you can not both datasources on the same dashboard?

[kadern0]

Yes. Take a look what happens (each of this graphs uses a different datasource):

If I change the default datasource and I start switching between dashboards one of them will have data and the other one will stop reporting (without changing any configuration).

[alexanderzobnin]

I test this case and got the same result. I will try to find solution.

[alexanderzobnin]

@kadern0 seems this problem fixed. Try to test it. Get code from release branch (https://github.com/alexanderzobnin/grafana-zabbix/tree/release-2.0.0)
