How can I try Datagrid visualization?

Hi.

I’m want to try out the Datagrid visualization. I’m very interested in these feature for a professional use case.

Datagrid is not shown in the visualizations for grafana 10 or 11. It is shown as installed in the list of plugins and marked as native.

Which is the proper way to try it? How I can enable it?

The Grafana datagrid is experimental. This feature is supported by the engineering team on a best-effort basis, and breaking changes may occur without notice prior to general availability.

You can try it by enabling enableDatagridEditing feature toggle:

[feature_toggles]
enable = enableDatagridEditing

Thanks!

please write back if you get lucky using it, since it’s been broken for over 6 months

It worked fine but is not what I’m looking for. I have to work with a custom datasource (not under my control) which does not allow any kind of querying from grafana. Hence, I cannot use variables in the queries and therefore there is no way to add interactivity to the dashboards.

I’m looking for a way to manipulate the data from grafana side which allow me to use variables to change the fixed queries on the fly.

Very particular use case.

what does the data look like? is it tabular, json? Then maybe you can use volkov lab plugins for post query processing.

You can do some simple postprocessing by Grafana transformations.

For example, you have the following data obtained from your datasource:

Using Filter by value transformation it is possible to filter data by variable value:

As of now, to be able to use dashboard variables in this transformation, it is necessary to enable transformationsVariableSupport feature toggle:

[feature_toggles]
enable = transformationsVariableSupport

Thanks. I would try that.

@ycalderon, thanks but this works for me only for single value variables.

But how we can use multivalue variable and ‘All’ option?
