Grafana: Simple json data source implementation

Question

Has anyone written a json data source for grafana in python? I'm struggling with writing functions and understanding the flow.

I am looking for something like this - https://github.com/bergquist/fake-simple-json-datasource/blob/master/index.js but in python.

Answer 1

I've just uploaded a snippet from our python datasource for grafana, it uses pandas + flask and very easy to extend.

Answer 2

To understand the flow, try looking at the generic implementation ... https://grafana.com/plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource
