Time data request Error on graph

[jeebee2013]

Hi team
Congratulation for this amazing tool
i've got one issue on my test lab (Vsphere 6)
on the Vmware FlambX \ HDD graph, i've a red ! with "Time data request Error "
i have the same on VMWARE esx Full stat... and on some other graph expecially on datastore or Hdd graph.
i've seen that there is some similar issue related to Grafana.. but without any detail.
any idea ?

thanks

julien

Thanks Julien. It's most likely related to naming issues like 2 items with the same name. Something like that in your setup?

[jeebee2013]

hello
i don"t have (as far as i know :-) 2 item with same same
my home lab is on 2 ESX with different name
Datastore have different name also

thanks for your help

Thanks for your reply : I've already seen this answer ;)
Does it state that it doesn't work in a mixed environment? I've a cluster with 2 hosts and one standalone ESXi.
