Configuration Errror - "Cannot connect to Strava API"

[alinjie]

I am having issues getting the Strava datasource to work properly. When saving and testing the datasource, this happens:

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Hi! Did you configure datasource according to docs?

[alexanderzobnin]

Also, Could not find executor for data source type: grafana-strava-datasource means backend is not started. Please, make sure you have plugin properly installed.

[alinjie]

HI @alexanderzobnin! Thank you for a quick reply.

I've tried to install the plugin as described in the documentation:
I'm starting with an empty plugins list

$ sudo grafana-cli plugins ls

Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>

I then install the plugin

$ sudo grafana-cli plugins install grafana-strava-datasource
installing grafana-strava-datasource @ 1.1.1
from: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-strava-datasource/versions/1.1.1/download
into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins

✔ Installed grafana-strava-datasource successfully

Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>

I then make sure that the directory and environment variable is created:

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/grafana/strava
$ export GF_STRAVA_DS_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/grafana/strava

After this, I restart the server with sudo systemctl restart grafana-server and follow the process in the docs you linked, but run in to the same error.

The Grafana server is running on a Raspberry Pi, if that is of any relevance

$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.19.75-v7+ #1270 SMP Tue Sep 24 18:45:11 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

[alexanderzobnin]

Plugin doesn't have compiled binaries for arm arch. If you want to run it with Raspberry Pi, you should build it for this arch first.

[alinjie]

Ah, okay. Makes sense.

I’m not familiar with how to build it for a specific architecture. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should approach it?

[Chrisblueeyes83]

please help me with the variable $ export GF_STRAVA_DS_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/grafana/strava
i odnt know how to create this...

[BeWog]

In /etc/default/grafana-server file, add this line:
GF_STRAVA_DS_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/grafana/strava

It works with 1.1.1 version 👍

[Chrisblueeyes83]

that didnt work for me :(

[Chrisblueeyes83]

please, will anybody help me with this problem? this drives me crazy!

[BeWog]

Do you have last version of Grafana and plugins ?
Please explain ;-)

[Chrisblueeyes83]

yes, its the latest version.
the process to register works fine, but ~5min later i have to re activate.

Can anybody explain how we can build it for an ARM achitecture?

I have the same issue as @Chrisblueeyes83. The Data Source keeps disconnecting from Strava.

Any solution for that?

[Chrisblueeyes83]
