Clicking on grafana-cli will just make the program open, display its help, and then close along with the window.

Its a CLI tool. CLI means Command Line Interface. You have to open a CMD window to use it. CD to the grafana directory and then execute the commands. It works fine under windows.

@imurphy thanks a lot. yes its working as expected .
I have one more doubt here.
Am trying to integrate external API (exposed API) with grafana . I have gone through some site it can be done using simpleJson .The below link i referred .

but am not sure how to do that. now i could able to down load simpleJson plugin and i have added in “C:\grafana-4.6.3\data\plugins” path for which i am able to see simpleJson in "add Data Source " page .

Please add your valuable inputs here to proceed and let me suggest am going in correct direction or not .

Regards,
Sagarika
