grafana-scalyr-datasource-plugin

A plugin for using scalyr's data in grafana. Requires a proxy server

#Variable Templating This plugin makes use of Grafana's variables feature. However, due to the fact that Scalyr uses "$" as a special character, this plugin uses "~" as a variable identifier

You can still use Grafana's [[varname]] syntax. More info on templating can be found here.

Escaping

Say, for example, you want to send a Scalyr query like this:

$someScalryField contains "my special ~error~"

If there are no Grafana variables with the name "error" then this will be sent literally

Now, say we have a Grafana variable with the name "error", that has the value "cool" you would escape the first tilde like so:

$someScalryField contains "my special ~~error~"

and it would interpolate to

$someScalryField contains "my special ~cool~"

If you have a Grafana variable with the name "error" and you want it to literally say "error", simply escape it with a backslash

$someScalryField contains "my special \~error"

which will interpolate to

$someScalryField contains "my special ~error"

TODO:

• Add screenshots to the README
• Add Annotation support for possible values to search scalyr for

Example Proxy Server

Note: Updated the required version of Grafana to 5.3.x because JsonData interpoloation of the routes section of plugin.json was only added for the url parameter in 5.3.0 of Grafana
