About this plugin

This Grafana 3.x plugin for Atlas provides a query builder with aliases, dimensions, aggregations and grouping.

The query builder provides metric hints for tags on the fly, along with their dimensions, allowing you to construct Atlas queries easily.

A "raw" query method is also available via a toggle in the query builder that will accept well-formed Atlas queries.

Running with Docker

A docker-compose.yml file is provided to easily stand up a Grafana 3.x server with this datasource mapped to the container.

Installation

  • Copy/clone this repos into /var/lib/grafana/plugins
  • Restarting grafana-server is required to pick up the plugin.

Once the plugin is "feature complete" a PR will be made to add this plugin to the official datasource plugins on Grafana.net

Important

You need to run Atlas 1.5.0+ for this to function properly as std.json output is mandatory.
