  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Grafana / Advanced Monitoring

DNSA

Basic Pleskian
I have two Plesk Obsidian / Windows 2019 DataCenter Edition Servers.

On server 2, Grafana / Advanced Monitoring allows me to save changes, make updates to settings, etc. without issue.

On server 1, Grafana / Advanced Monitoring complains with warning "Settings cannot be saved", referring to the "SuperAdmin" panel.ini setting to remedy.

At one time in past, I went through configuration per KB article to gain settings save ability on BOTH servers with success.

When Grafana update in December failed on both servers, reinstall was required on Server 1 - but incoming Plesk update resolved server 2 before manual attempt was required. For some reason, server 2 updates about 3 days before server 1 with auto-updates (this is not the main issue being discussed).

Since reinstall on server 1, even after Plesk auto-updates, Grafana / Advanced Monitoring

HERE IS ISSUE:
Server 2 does NOT have "[ext-grafana] block let alone SuperAdmin... setting even existing in file, yet settings allow save and no errors about "SuperAdmin" are displayed.

Server 1 does NOT allow settings save regardless of [ext-grafana] and SuperAdmin setting presence in panel.ini (even after server reboot and complete uninstall/reinstall of extensions Grafana + Advanced Monitoring.

-----------------------------
In request:

PLEASE SUPPLY FULL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING FOLLOWING:
PERMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
PLESK panel.ini SETTINGS REQUIREMENTS
FULL DETAILED PROCEDURE FOR START TO FINISH GRAFANA/ADVANCED MONITORING INSTALL WITH PROPER SETTINGS-SAVE CAPABILITY, as no such full documentation exists.

THANK YOU for extension - as it is very useful - but I wish to modify notification settings / threshold settings / custom monitors (since no MSSQL monitor exists yet MySQL monitor available).

Wish for future updates:
------------------------------
Ability to survive customizations beyond extension upgrades, and documentation advice for such customisations to be reported by plesk-rrdtool.

THANK YOU for your time!
 
-- a whole week and absolutely no response?

For the almost $700 USD a year spent on these two Plesk licenses (and we have ran Plesk since version 9) I would have hoped to heard something by now... Granted we're not a "major player" in the spending money game, but still...
 
Have tried once again to get write-permissions on Grafana/Advanced Monitoring:

Here is section of panel.ini:

Here is server response (after reboot):

1620748489928.png

STILL cannot save changes (this is after full uninstall, reboot, reinstall, set panel.ini setting, then reboot).

Second server does NOT even contain [ext-grafana] section, yet it allows write-permissions without issue.

PLEASE ADVISE. This is frustrating issue that makes absolutely no sense -- something is not right with how Plesk handles this "write-permissions" issue here...

Contact Plesk support. You're paying for a reason.
