Possibility of an InfluxDB Data Explorer Integrated into Grafana

Grafana InfluxDB
1

Dear Readers,

I currently use an IOT2050 device, an InfluxDB database, and a Grafana application both open source and latest version. At the moment, we build the dashboards for our clients ourselves, but we would like to enable clients to create their own dashboards. Currently, building queries can be challenging, especially if one isn’t familiar with the data available in the database.

Ideally, we would like a feature similar to the InfluxDB Data Explorer, where users can select the data, and the queries are automatically generated based on their selections. I have searched online to see if something like this already exists but have not found any solutions.

Could such a feature be achieved, perhaps with a plugin?

Thank you for your insights.

Short answer is no.

getting a (any) graphical data explorer into grafana (no matter the source/query language used) would be really nice. It is much quicker to get an overview of the available data and structure graphically (using e.g. influx data explorer) then using queries in the grafana explorer. After the data structure is clear, there is no problem to build the query for the actual visualization.
So the explorer does not even need to produce queries to be useful (but I guess this can be added with little overhead as the gui would need to create these queries internally anyways to show the data)
