I had the same problem with my Docker setup.
The problem for me was that since my configuration was almost empty, I didn't have the predefined sections in the .ini file.

It worked for me by making the

allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = checkmk-datasource

to

[plugins]
allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = checkmk-datasource

Hi Marcel, Thank you for your reply, but i already have these lines :/. I found in container logs that the plugin is skipped because he is unsigned, so maybe a grafana issue ?! I'll check. Le sam. 14 mai 2022, 13:18, Marcel Kuhmann ***@***.***> a écrit :

it seems that the plugin ID is not checkmk-datasource but tribe-29-checkmk-datasource ! after compilation everything is ok.
the correct line is :

[plugins]
allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = tribe-29-checkmk-datasource

checkmk documentation is not correct.

You followed the 2.0.0 version of the documentation, https://docs.checkmk.com/master/en/grafana.html should describe the correct way to set up the data source but it's still work in progress.
I've created two internal issues for our knowledge-team to update the documentation to make it more clear which version of the data source plugin will be installed.
