+# Testing GrafanaDatasource secureJsonData
+
+This test creates a GrafanaDatasource with a reference
+to a secret (which is normally created by a serviceAccount)
+and makes sure it's inserted correctly into
+grafana.
+
+## Step 00
+
+This step creates a number of resources:
+- Grafana (to create a new grafana)
+- GrafanaDatasource (with secureJsonData and a secret)
+- A thanos emulator pod, using netcat, with a service
+
+## Step 01
+
+This step starts a pod which query the grafana to test it's datasource,
+which in turn forces the grafana to query thanos.
+
+## Step 02
+
+Verify in the log that grafana is happy with the response from
+the datasource.
+
+## Step 03
+
+Verify in the log that grafana sent the authorization header with
+the token.
