Serverside secret management

Grafana Plugin Development

Hi everyone !

I’m asking you about a feature request:
Serverside secret management

Actually, I put some secrets in my queries (on the front) so everyone can see this ones.
They do not have to know my secrets but they can edit the query

So :slight_smile: we already can set variables on datasources configurations, they are replaced before the query go out of the browser

What about a SecretVariables fields in datasource configuration which is replaced in the query when the query come to the server
( All this feature need a proxy datasource )

secret variables? you mean secureJsonData?

I saw this field on the datasource object, but without doc I can’t understand how it works :slight_smile:

It’s for encrypted fields that only the backend have access to, field the frontend never will see.for example api keys or certs.
