  2. Go back and select Data Sources. Click Add data source, choose FROST SensorThings API Plugin
  3. Enter a name for the datasource, and enter the base URL to a SensorThings API server, e.g. https://airquality-frost.k8s.ilt-dmz.iosb.fraunhofer.de/v1.1/
  4. Add authentication settings if needed and click "Save & Test".
  5. Create a new dashboard, under Dashboards, Browse, New Dashboard.
