Datasource Grafana - SolarWinds

Grafana Plugin Development
1

Hello everyone!
someone could help about DataSource Grafana - SolarWinds
I have found a SolarWinds (SWIS) which is SolarWinds Information Service
which is basically - a data access layer for the Orion product family that provides a hybrid of object-oriented and relational features. It has its own SQL-like language called SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL).

GitHub DataSource link - GitHub - etichy/grafana-swis-datasource: DataSource plugin for grafana to access SolarWinds data via SWIS REST API
we have to extract the zip file into the data/plugins subdirectory for Grafana.
in the latest version of the Grafana we don’t have the data/plugin path

Could someone help or is there any Data source for Grafana alternatively

Thanks

Hi @syedkhadeerahmed1212 if the folder data/plugins doesn’t exist you can simply create it. if you don’t see in the grafana start log that grafana tries to load the plugin check if perhaps you have a custom path for plugins in your custom.ini Configure Grafana | Grafana documentation

Keep in mind the plugin you link is not signed and most likely grafana will refuse to load it because of that. You can allow specific plugins to load unsigned via configuration too Configure Grafana | Grafana documentation

I am not aware of any alternative plugin for SolarWinds.

Unfortunately you might encounter some issues with that plugin, we’ve seen reports that there were incompatibilities with Grafana v9.

Potential alternatives could include the infinity plugin Infinity plugin for Grafana | Grafana Labs or maybe even one of the SQL datasources to connect to the Orion database.
