DataSourceWithBackend class
Extend this class to implement a data source plugin that is depending on the Grafana backend API.
Signature
declare class DataSourceWithBackend<TQuery extends DataQuery = DataQuery, TOptions extends DataSourceJsonData = DataSourceJsonData> extends DataSourceApi<TQuery, TOptions>
Import
import { DataSourceWithBackend } from '@grafana/runtime';
Constructors
Constructor | Modifiers | Description |
---|---|---|
constructor(instanceSettings) | Constructs a new instance of the DataSourceWithBackend class |
Methods
Method | Modifiers | Description |
---|---|---|
applyTemplateVariables(query, scopedVars) | Override to apply template variables. The result is usually also TQuery , but sometimes this can be used to modify the query structure before sending to the backend.NOTE: if you do modify the structure or use template variables, alerting queries may not work as expected | |
callHealthCheck() | Run the datasource healthcheck | |
filterQuery(query) | Override to skip executing a query | |
getResource(path, params) | Make a GET request to the datasource resource path | |
postResource(path, body) | Send a POST request to the datasource resource path | |
query(request) | Ideally final – any other implementation may not work as expected | |
testDatasource() | Checks the plugin health see public/app/features/datasources/state/actions.ts for what needs to be returned here |
