Grafana + InfluxDB integration problem

Third party integrations

Dear all,
I really need your help…

I am running Hassio: HassOS 4.13

After more than one year in which everything was fine, I keep now receiving an error from Grafana in trying to connect to the InfluxDB:
Here is the error:

error parsing query: found %, expected identifier, string, number, bool at line 1, char 8

> Object
> message:"InfluxDB Error: error parsing query: found %, expected identifier, string, number, bool at line 1, char 8"

I was looking for the same thing, and came across your question.
I’ve found the solution here:

BTW, I fixed this by going to the “Configuration - Data Sources” section in Grafana, and changing the connection settings to InfluxDB to use POST instead of GET.

I can confirm this has solved the issue for me

Fantastic, THANKS A LOT!

It solved the problem, everything works again as planned!
I wonder why this setting got changed? Maybe due to an update of Grafana going on in background…

Thanks again,
