It is best when you have a problem with Kiali server to provide details like:

  • What error messages are you seeing in the UI?
  • What error messages are you seeing in the kiali server pod logs?
  • Are there any other (info? debug?) log messages in the kiali server pod logs that look relevant? If so, what are they?

@ jmazzitelli
No Any error messages, in UI , not in kiali pod logs nothing.
Kiali has no any problems. BUT in the Kiali UI workloads Tab: Inbound Metrics Link : View in Grafana missing.

Below screenshot is from the kiali version: v1.35.0

Can you turn on debug in the server (edit the Kiali CR to set log level to debug), and after the server pod restarts see what messages you get surrounding the grafana detection?
