Error obtaining dashboard

[veerareddyganta]

Thanks IzakMarais for providing a tool to export grafana dashboard into a pdf file.

I have tried it and getting the following error when I clicked on the link in dashboard. I have installed grafana on a linux box(myLinuxPC) and launching the dashboard link from my windows box using http://xx.xx.xx.xxx:3000/dashboard/db/backendlistner. Url for exporting to pdf is - http://xx.xx.xx.xxx:8686/api/report/backendlistner

Error obtaining dashboard: {"message":"Unauthorized"}

Logs on my linux box:

Based on the error it looks like you have Auth enabled on your Grafana. You will need to use the api Token parameter of the grafana-reporter, or disable auth in your Grafana settings.

@IzakMarais Thanks for your reply.
Could you please give me an steps and an example to use api token parameter of the grafana-reporter?

[IzakMarais]

You would have to retrieve the API token from Grafana, e.g. using the GUI. Somewhere there is an API keys section under admin settings.

Once you have the token, you need to pass it as a query parameter

 /api/report/backendlistner?apitoken=XXXXXX

I forgot to close this issue.

I tried by disabling auth by making the following changes in 'Anonymous Auth' section of grafana.ini file and it worked for me.
enabled = true
org_role = Admin

Thanks for your help.
