Novant plugin for Grafana

The Novant plugin for Grafana provides data source integration for the Novant API.

Limitations

This plugin is currently unsigned, which creates some restrictions:

• This plugin cannot be used in a paid Grafana hosted account
• To enable plugin in self-hosted you must whitelist in grafana.ini

Installing Plugin

To install the novant-datasource plugin:

• Download the latest novant-datasource.zip from Releases

• Unzip novant-datasource.zip into your Grafana plugins/ directory (should look like plugins/novant-datasource/)

• Update this line in yourgrafana.ini to:

  allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = novant-datasource
  

• Restart Grafana for changes to take effect

Adding Novant Datasource

To add a new Novant datasource:

• In Grafana navigate to Add data source
• Search or find Novant in the source list
• Supply a name and enter your API key
• Click Save and Test to validate your key and connectivity

Using your Novant Datasource

In your dashboard:

• Create a new panel
• Select your datasource
• Configure the source_id and point_ids

The visualization should automatically update when changes are made. The point_ids is a comma-separated list of points to display, ie: "s.1.1,s.1.2,s.1.3".
