Prerequisite : PlatformService >= 8.4 and Grafana > 7.1.0

Note : Please check the Grafana configurations before starting the Grafana and modify it if any changes required.

Sample Pdf

Prerequisites:

  • PlatformService >= 8.4 and > Grafana 7.1.0

  • (Optional) Kindly install grafana-image-renderer plugin before starting Grafana. This can’t be bundled as part of package since this is huge in size.

    • cd grafana/bin

    • grafana-cli plugins install grafana-image-renderer

    • If this step is success, there are less chance of skipping step 3 as it will download the chromium browser necessary for this feature.

  • Except windows and ubuntu please refer to below steps for adding the missing libraries for PDF to be downloaded in printable format

    • Linux

      • In general you can use the ldd utility to figure out what shared libraries are not installed in your system:

        cd <grafana-image-render plugin directory> ldd chrome-linux/chrome linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff1bf65000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f2047945000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f2047924000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f204791a000) libX11.so.6 => not found libX11-xcb.so.1 => not found libxcb.so.1 => not found libXcomposite.so.1 => not found
