Add support for InfluxDB behind reverse proxy under subpath (https://example.com/influxdb/) #5096

oddstr13 · 2019-02-24T12:55:41Z

Currently (Chronograf 1.7.8), attempting to add a InfluxDB connection with Connection URL of https://example.com/influxdb/ results in a ping request to https://example.com/ping (path part of url is replaced, not appended to).

Desired behavior would be a request to https://example.com/influxdb/ping (path relative to supplied URL).

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

@oddstr13 We are having trouble reproducing this issue. Can you provide some additional details about your setup? When we check the code, it should be using the full url you enter in the source connection before adding the /ping. Are you still seeing this issue?

oddstr13 · 2019-03-27T01:19:52Z

This is the relevant part of my nginx server block;

    location /influxdb/ {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8086/;
    }

Seeing as the application didn't even connect, I ended up digging into the influxdb command-line interface and syntax to do what I needed.
I have not used this application since my initial failed attempt, and as such cannot tell if the issue is still present or not.

influx cli also unsupports path in url: influxdata/influxdb#10294
=(((

The issue is still happening at chronograf 1.8.8, i need to configure the influxdb behind a proxy reverse with a sub path like this: "https://myhost/influxdb" and it seems that chronograf is changing the url when is querying the influxdb "ping" endpoint (with a sub path), the logs show the following:

Failed to retrieve database version" error="<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">\n<html><head>\n<title>404 Not Found</title>\n</head><body>\n<h1>Not Found</h1>\n<p>The requested URL /ping was not found on this server.</p>\n<hr>\n<address>Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips Server at myhost Port 443</address>\n</body></html>\n

And after that the following error appears:
level=error msg="Error message Error contacting source" component=server http_status =400

Can you support the sub path? or any work around to this? Thank you.

Hi All
What are the subpath configuration need in chronograf? When I load influxdb via browser I just see a white blank screen.

Yep, same with InfluxDB

Forbzy · 2021-02-22T16:00:54Z

I think I read somewhere that influxdb used to come with a frontend UI. But that got removed in a previous version. You can use Chronograf or Grafana instead and hook them up to Influxdb. Kind Regards James Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

@russorat I can confirm that this is still an issue in Chronograf v1.9.0

oddstr13 · 2021-09-28T13:18:25Z

The culprit is likely to be lines such as this one; override path, not append to the configured path

chronograf/flux/client.go

Line 91 in feaa183

u.Path = "ping"

A quick grep reveals the following locations where path is overridden, some of which are problematic;

chronograf$ grep '\.Path ?=[^=]' -RP .
./flux/client.go:	url.Path = "/api/v2/query"
./flux/client.go:	u.Path = "ping"
./influx/influx.go:	u.Path = "query"
./influx/influx.go:	u.Path = "api/v2/query"
./influx/influx.go:	u.Path = "ping"
./influx/influx.go:	u.Path = "write"
./oauth2/auth0.go:	domain.Path = "/authorize"
./oauth2/auth0.go:	domain.Path = "/oauth/token"
./oauth2/auth0.go:	domain.Path = "/userinfo"
./enterprise/meta.go:	URL.Path = path
./enterprise/meta_test.go:	URL.Path = path
./server/server.go:	redirectURL.Path = redirectPath
./server/server.go:	publicURL.Path = path.Join(publicURL.Path, s.Basepath, "oauth", genericName, "callback")
./server/influx.go:		u.Path = "/api/v2/write"
./server/influx.go:		u.Path = "/write"

I don't know Go, or whether the functions are passed a copy of the url, or a reference to the same object, so care may need to be taken not to end up with urls like https://example.com/influxdb/ping/write/query?foo=bar when fixing this issue.

sranka · 2021-09-28T18:24:13Z

Yes, a custom InfluxDB path is still not supported in 1.9.0 . The code still forgets the user-entered path and uses built-in API paths instead.

tlifschitz · 2022-03-26T01:06:08Z

Can somebody please make an effort to move forward with this feature? Im afraid i have no knowledge of Go. It a pitty not being able to access such a useful UI when running influx behind nginx and in a subpath.

oddstr13 · 2022-06-21T11:30:07Z

@sranka Thanks for looking into this!
I'm looking forward to testing out the next release 🙂

sranka · 2022-06-21T11:53:28Z

@oddstr13 you can already give it a try with a chronograf nightly build that can be downloaded from https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/

oddstr13 · 2022-06-21T12:28:52Z

Tested the docker image, seems to be working fine.
Thanks for fixing the issue! 😃
