Support Google default service account.
gfrankliu opened this issue · 6 comments
Many other Google data sources (Bigquery, Stackdriver, etc) supports using default service account associated with the instance. Can google-sheets-datasource support that?
Yes, we are working on unifying the authentication methods for the google data sources so we will be able to use service account for authentication. see grafana/grafana#39907
Do you know if the new google-sheets-datasource can be used with grafana v7?
No, to use the new version you need to have Grafana version 8.1.
It's seems the plugin doesn't allow to use default service account despite the ticket is closed and the work in Grafana is done
Did I miss something to be allowed to use default service account instead of JWT file?
You are right @eraac this is not added yet. Sorry about it.
Yeah this will be great as it will allow for workload identity would be great, which is the recommend practise when working ok GKE
