Another thing to try would be to use a CORS proxy if you cannot edit the NGinx config. I used the NPM package corsproxy to get around the graphite CORS issue.

Install the corsproxy package:

 mkdir graphiteProxy
 cd graphiteProxy
 npm install corsproxy
 echo "copy the version of http_proxy corsproxy depends on into"
 echo "your local node_modules"
 cp -r node_modules\corsproxy\node_modules\http-proxy node_modules\http_proxy
 touch app.js

app.js:

// point the grafana config.js to your local proxy: http://localhost:8081
var cors_proxy = require('corsproxy')
var http_proxy = require('http-proxy')
cors_proxy.options = {
   target : "http://{{graphiteserver}}:8080"
}
http_proxy.createServer(cors_proxy).listen(8081)

run the proxy:

node app.js
