graph panel in 7.0 is missing setFieldConfig() method

[pdreker]

In the generated code the graph panel has no obvious option to set the unit, as setFieldConfig is not there and trying to solve this another way did not get me what I wanted due to missing documentation how to set an axis for series with a unit configured...

In the end I just copied the setFieldConfig method from the stat panel (panel/stat.libsonnet) in 7.0 into the panel/graph.libsonnet file and it simply produces the necessary output.

As this is generated code I don't think providing a PR is of any use in this case.

When initialising the graph panel you can provide the format directly in the constructor: https://grafana.github.io/grafonnet-lib/api-docs/#graphpanelnew

There is also formatY1 and formatY2 in case you use the left and right Y axis.

I am referring to the generated code, i.e. grafonnet-7.0.

The source is in github.com/grafana/dashboard spec. You can make PRs there.

That codebase stimulated the development of a proper schema, managed by the Grafana team themselves. It'll take a while though, as there is a lot of catchup to do. Then it'll be possible to make a generator from that.
