Custom query parameters and URL via query about grafana-json-datasource HOT 11 CLOSED

Hey Marcus,
sorry ill try to explain better.

I'm not sure if its something possible to implement on grafana. :)

this is my scenario, I have 4 servers with JSON api, exposed on the following addresses:
http://server1/api
http://server2/api
http://server3/api
http://server4/api

then i have a Grafana variable with these4 servers as drop down list.

when you select one of these servers, each one is bounded to its own data source. i had to put their data source as a variable, and create 4 different data sources.

its not so much a big issue, but if you have 10 servers, then you need to add 10 data sources...

my question is, is it possible to create 1 generic JSON data source, and then (as same as you passed the custom URL parameters from the query) pass the URL as a variable to the generic data source?
so this way I have only 1 data source, with a dynamic URL.

for now, my workaround was to create a php file as router, and redirect to the selected server.
something like:
http://mainserver?server=server1

then inside the php i redirect the request to:
http://server1/api
this way I only have 1 data source.

Thanks!!

I have the same issue I would like to send a Variable to the JSON call but it seems we are not capable of interacting with the call withing the dashboard.

Thanks both of you for the feature request! I think makes perfect sense to add something like this to the query editor. Would be pretty easy to implement as well.

This feature may be very useful !

I've published v0.6.0 with this feature. Let me know if it works for you!

Hey !

Thank you for the plugin. Can we use dashboard global variable in "Custom query parameters" ?

Thanks

Thanks Marcus! will check it up!
do you also plan to add passing the URL from the query to the data source?

No issue with last versions to use variable in custom query !

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by this. Could you give an example?

I don't think I've seen this pattern before, but there's nothing stopping us from adding a variable to the URL in the data source configuration and interpolating it for each query. Could you open a new issue for this maybe?
