"401: Unauthorized" iframe CARD of Grafana not working

Thanks
mine is like this… I don’t know why… grafana is working… is there a way to fix this?

I guess there is a way :wink: simply type “3000” (or whaterever 4digit number you like) instead “disabled” like I did

this will probably work. Now I suppose to add my credentials (username + password) and I don’t remember them :frowning:

Cheers. Do you embed internal address or external one with https?

I can confirm that after I changed the port to 3000, the iframe panel showed up on may app.

When I connected to HA using same IP equals IP in URL in iframe, frame work properly/
But when I connected using duckdns.org host or using host from my hosts file, frame show error 401.
None of the above recipes helped.

Unfortunately, this problems still happens on my android mobile phone even change that port to 3000.

But on PC/Browser, it works always fine. Very strange.

Same here. Android App with Tablet user isn’t working. Android App with my personal User on Smartphone works perfectly fine, also with my personal User on the PC browser.

Would be interesting to get this resolved for all devices.

Hi, I have posted alternative solution for iframe with Grafana.
If you are running Home Assistant and Grafana on a reverse proxy and SSL enveronment, this might be useful.

Enabling anonymous login fixes this issue with setup like below but creates security problems. One way to fix that from HA side is to introduce sending additional headers for lovelace iframe card.
Grafana api keys can be used like this:

curl -H “Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiUnhKa2swM2FrR0k4eUhyUHQ5dDVoVzN3U2cwVdfgfdrjht554iaWQiOjF9” https://grafana.mysetup.org/api/hassio_ingress/nZYGqQ-X7eLkUZpNFdRU47lv_/api/dashboards/home

Then grafana api keys can be used but this also creates other security issues since the api key will be visible for everyone who can access the lovelace dashboard. Though it is a less severe issue than completely exposing grafana with anonymous login since if someone unwanted can access your dashboard, you will have other problems.
This can also be mitigated by using secrets in the lovelace ifrane card to some degree too.

env_vars:
  - name: GF_SECURITY_COOKIE_SECURE
    value: 'true'
  - name: GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED
    value: 'true'
  - name: GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ORG_NAME
    value: Org
  - name: GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ORG_ROLE
    value: Viewer

There is an open feature request for this:

For me, no advice worked. I was able to display grafana panels from external adresses, but not now anymore. I only get jumping grafana logo.

I have the same issue.
I get an 401: Unauthorized error on a first opening lovelace page.
I have to open a grafana panel first and then I have to refresh a lovelace page

Same 401 issue… 2022.8.3.
I saw many different solutions out there, but… I’m a bit confused: after years of HA-Grafana integration… isn’t there, yet, a straight direction to solve an issue that ANYONE using Grafana in HA would have? I mean… anyone using Grafana - I think - would then add his graphs within the other dashboards… no?

I also have this issue and I’m sad there’s no nice solution.
Right now I’m just manually opening Grafana (so that I’m somehow authenticated) and after that it works … (for 1 day).

What is the adress you are using in the card ?
Mine is like this https://externalIP:3000/
you need to redirect the port to your server.
If you’re using SSL, don’t forget to indicate the adress of it. If you use NPM it is not / but /nginxproxymanager/live/npm-5/privkey.pem

Nginxproxymanager. Graphana uses X-Frame-Options for cross site protection against rendering in an iFrame

In NPM on your config add a custom location for / and add the below config

proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options

alright check it out, its a dirty hack but this how i got around this problem:

  1. create a folder called www in your homeassistant config folder, so its /homeassistant/config/www
    1a. if the folder dint exist, make sure you restart home assistant!!!
  2. create a new html file in the new www directory, anyfilename.html
    2a. the contents of anyfilename.html are:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate">
   <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
   <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
</head>
<body>
  <h2>Loading..</h2>
  <p id = "result"></p>
  <script>
     redirect()
     function redirect () {
        setTimeout(myURL, 2000);
        var result = document.getElementById("result");
        result.innerHTML = ".";
     }

     function myURL() {
        const queryString = window.location.search;
        document.location.href = `/api/hassio_ingress/HASSIOingresRandomURL/${queryString}`;
     }
  </script>
</body>
</html>

change HASSIOingresRandomURL to what your ingress url isbroken 401 webpage card has… example would be /api/hassio_ingress/whatevertokenRandomURL/d-solo/7Tl95WoGz/server-stats Also take note of the 2000 milosecond (2s) load delay.

  1. In your dashboard that contains a webpage (iframe) card that has a broken 401 /api/hassio_ingress/HASSIOingresRandomURL/ Change it to /local/anyfilename.html with arguments at the end. Example would be: /local/anyfilename.html?orgId=1&refresh=1m&from=now-1h&to=now&panelId=3

  2. we will add a dummy webpage card anywhere in the dashboard tab with the following settings:

- type: iframe
  url: /TheSideBarURL
  aspect_ratio: 0%

This creates an invisible card to force load grafana as if you clicked on it on the sidebar.

  1. Now when you load the dashboard tab, grafana is loaded by the invisible webpage card and after 2 seconds your HASSIOingresRandomURL with arguments & w/e you want are loaded in.

Until home assistant fixes passing url parameters & paths to ingressURL’s on the sidebar, we have to come up with crap like this… Tested working on external URLs like CASA & Cloudflared. Anyone not logged in who accesses /local/anyfilename.html are still greeted with 401 not authorized.

You can test this faster by using desktop browser. Closing the browser completely (not just the tab) will force 401 to appear.

Lifesaver! For those banging their heads, the config line should be followed by a semicolon, like so:

proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;

Actually a better way if you have a fqdn for both Graphana and Home assistant. Remove my old command and add this instead. It’s more secure, and will only allow iframe renders from the named ancestors. Vs completely disabling and allowing it to be used in an iframe anywhere.

add_header Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors graphana.yourdomain.com homeassistant.yourdomain.com;";

I fixed this in Scrypted by having the add-on write a html card to config/www. The contents of that card will use an access token to create an ingress session using the web socket api, and then navigate to the ingress url after setting the ingress_session cookie.

In my example, the card is written to /config/www/scrypted_card.html and used within the Webpage frame as /local/scrypted_card.html (with access token in query string).

The access token can be found in localStorage on desktop browsers, but seemingly is unavailable in mobile apps. Thus, it’s best to provide the token in a query string.
