Question posted in 
I’ve got a process storing RedisTimeSeries data in a Redis instance on Docker. I can access the data just fine with the RedisInsight CLI: 
I can also add Redis as a data source to Grafana:
I’ve imported the dashboards:
But when I actually try to import the data into a Grafana dashboard, the query just sits there:
TS.RANGE with a value of – +, or two timestamps, also produces nothing: 
(I do get results when entering it into the CLI, but not as a CLI query in Grafana.
What could I be missing?

Are you trying to display a graph (eg, number of people vs time)? If so, perhaps that TS.INFO is not the right command and you should use something like TS.MRANGE.
Take a look at
https://redislabs.com/blog/how-to-use-the-new-redis-data-source-for-grafana-plug-in/
for some more examples.
The command you should be using in the Grafana dashboard for retrieving and visualising the data in time series stored in Redis with RedisTimeSeries is
TS.RANGEfor a specific key, orTS.MRANGEin combination with a filter that selects a set of time series matching this filter. List of commands with RedisTimeSeries: https://oss.redislabs.com/redistimeseries/commands/ (you’re using TS.INFO which does only retrieve metadata of time series key, not the actual samples within)So I looked into this a bit more. Moderators deleted my last answer because it didn’t ‘answer’ the question.
There is a github issue for this. One of the developers also responded. It is broken and has been for awhile. Grafana doesn’t seem to want to maintain this datasource at the moment. IMHO they should remove the redis timeseries support from their plugin library if it isn’t fully baked.
