Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I've seen a lot of articles about getting data out of Node-RED into InfluxDB then visualising that data in Grafana.

But what's the best way to show one of these graphs in Node-RED dashboard?

Presumably I'd need a template node. Is the best way just to insert an iframe?

Yes for both template node+iframe.

From grafana you can export the code directly from a chart.

Note that authentication might give some problems, check the grafana documentation how to enable sharing without login (or without eg cookies)

Perfect, thank you @edje11 . That was a #googlefail because "show grafana in node red dashboard" did not bring that result up!

The Buildtemplate node is a normal function node, see the example posted on that page, it's just the label they gave to the function node

Click on the triangle and choose share and then the tab embed. Copy from the share url the part starting with _http:..._ and ends with _orgid=1_ , for example _[http://192.168.1.127:3000/d-solo/0032x0mgk/joshuadashboard?orgId=1](http://192.168.1.127:3000/d-solo/0032x0mgk/joshuadashboard?orgId=1)_  
Copy this part to Build template function.  
Passing this url to a browser should also show the chart only to verify.  
If that's also not working you didn't change the _grafana.ini_ correct or not.

Hi @edje11

i test the link :

```auto
http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1
&amp;refresh=1m
&amp;panelId=2

```

This is the result in Chrome :

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/6/64c36ebacf05ae94a8378283e0d4056f258df576.png)

If i change little thing after the **&** :

```auto
http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1
&refresh=1m
&panelId=2

```

it's working :

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/c/c5f86afa00c9e09615d93a80c354662d40ee3ea5.png)

What is the problem with **&**? What do i put instead ?

Try doing a google search using `what is &amp;`

it's the html code for the **&** charactere

so I must transform in my Function node an address that has **&** by `&amp;` see @edje11. But this code does not show anything in my dashboard.

if someone see something wrong in :

> Note that replacing `&` with `&amp` ; is only done when writing the URL in HTML, where `"&"` is a special character (along with "\<" and "\>"). When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use `"&"` and not `"&amp;"` .

thank you for the explanation.  
Ok, the `&` all alone is for an address to type directly in a browser, and `&amp;` to include it in a html code.  
But why, chrome can not display it ? Why the Template node, can not display my Grafana curve?

You should use  
` "src=http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1"+`  
not  
`"http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1"+`

Hi @edje11, thanks for answer

> [@edje11](#):

> "src=[http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1](http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1)"+

That's the finaly code :

```auto
panelid=2
msg.template= "<iframe "+
"style=\"width:600px; height:300px; overflow:hidden; margin:auto; border:0px solid green;\" "+ 

"src=http://localhost:3000/d-solo/GQ47zhIZk/chri-dashboard?orgId=1"+
"&amp;refresh=1m"+
"&amp;theme=dark"+
"&amp;from="+ msg.fromdate +
"&amp;to="+ msg.enddate +
"&amp;panelId="+panelid+"> </iframe>"

return msg;

```

And the result:

Don't you need `src="http://...."` in the template?
