Hmm looks like you will need to troubleshoot by looking through your logs and try and track down whats happening.
Is grafana-server running ?
have a look at your processes via top or ps i.e.

Hi I checked my processes with top. neither grafana or influx are running even after starting them. I have also tried upgrading them and this has not changed.

Could grafana not be working because I don't have an rpi 2 but instead an a. All the builds of grafana I have seen have been for rpi2 b

InfluxDB is fixed I downloaded a .deb from the influx website and I have found a grafana image for rpi1 as the difference in arm processors seems to be the issue for some others.

excellent well done.
As I mentioned to you at meeting, I now run influxdb and grafana on my mac mini as I don't think running a DB on a pi would be good for the SD card.

if you do need/want to run something with a bit of storage I/O, or low power storage, you can pick up a cheap SanDisk (or other brand) USB flash drive. I recently picked up a low profile 64GB flash drive for $18 from dx.com. If it's over 16GB, I would recommend reformatting it to EXT4. VFAT32 formatting will only allow around 16K files to be stored in one folder.
It's also much faster to access than the SD card. I initially had my timelapse photography rig storing images to a large SD card. Every now and then it would frustratingly freeze for 5-10 seconds!! I have had no issues with USB flash drives.
