Hello,  
I’ve looked everywhere but haven’t been able to find the information.

I use grafana module pour graph.

I’m trying to prevent a graph from being displayed for certain checks.

Like this : [https://icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch/icingaweb2/search?q=dmesg#!/icingaweb2/icingadb/service?name=Kernel%20Ring%20Buffer%20(dmesg)&host.name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch](https://icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch/icingaweb2/search?q=dmesg#!/icingaweb2/icingadb/service?name=Kernel%20Ring%20Buffer%20(dmesg)&host.name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch)

instead of : [https://icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch/icingaweb2/icingadb/service?name=Kernel%20Ring%20Buffer%20(dmesg)&host.name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch#!/icingaweb2/icingadb/host?name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch](https://icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch/icingaweb2/icingadb/service?name=Kernel%20Ring%20Buffer%20(dmesg)&host.name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch#!/icingaweb2/icingadb/host?name=icinga-demo.linuxfabrik.ch)

any idea ?

The grafana module is kind of deprecated:

> This fork was created to provide bug fixes and maintenance.

So no new features, but maintenance

You can do this with icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs by a custom variable on the corresponding service/host: [icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs/doc/03-Configuration.md at 8923e41ac2146c517b73fd712f70fb727ae000e4 · NETWAYS/icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs · GitHub](https://github.com/NETWAYS/icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs/blob/8923e41ac2146c517b73fd712f70fb727ae000e4/doc/03-Configuration.md?plain=1#L69)

Oh, okay, I didn’t know that.  
So I just need to install:

- icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs  
and
- icingaweb2-module-perfdatagraphs-“mychoice”

and that’s it ?

Fun !

THx !

Exactly, you need the corresponding backend module for your setup.

yes.

The grafana module (both the [old version](https://github.com/Mikesch-mp/icingaweb2-module-grafana) and the still maintained [Netways fork](https://github.com/NETWAYS/icingaweb2-module-grafana)) have the option to define a variable for

- disabling graphs
- overriding the chosen graph (default is the check command name)
