Has anyone managed to get the Grafana dashboards working on Centos or Rocky?

I have tried several times over various versions and just given another hour to the task without any joy.

Following the guide and applying the Salt formula always fails on the targets I’ve tried, with:

          ID: install_prometheus

    Function: pkg.installed

        Name: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus

      Result: false

     Comment: Error occurred installing package(s). Additional info follows:

errors:

    - Running scope as unit: run-r4cd5eeb15cd8494685380c6107f1045b.scope

      Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:03 ago on Thu Mar 10 14:37:34 2022.

      No match for argument: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus

      Error: Unable to find a match: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus

         SLS: prometheus

     Changed: {}

And indeed – the package is not called that on EL. It is supplied in the Epel repos (although on Centos 7 that appears to be broken – it does install fine manually on Rocky 8) – but the package is called golang-github-prometheus  - so always fails.

Anyone know how to work around this? I don’t have any Suse machines other than the one Uyuni runs on.

Manually, I always seem to get into configuration problems with Prometheus. It’s not software I’m familiar with and it does seem very fussy about syntax (something I’ve seen discussed at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/2082 )

I have an existing Grafana server that I’d like to be able to use this with.
