Can I use **[Infinity](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource/)** plugin that stream JSON from file ? I only found data source option from URL, Inline, Reference, and Azure Blob. As it runs in backend, so I hope I can stream the JSON file directly without having to make an API endpoint for it

I put json files in server, it generated from my backend app. Now I want to read these files with Grafana, that’s what I ask

Is it on the same server as Grafana? Can you just use URL to it?

Put your file into one of Grafana’s subfolders (i.e. `file.txt` into `grafana/public/myfiles`) and access from Infinity via URL (i.e. `https://mygrafanasrv:3000/public/myfiles/file.txt`)
