FROST SensorThings API data source for Grafana

A data source plugin for loading OGC SensorThings API data into Grafana.

Using the Plugin

1. Click the Gear icon in Grafana to enter the configuration menu, select Plugins, and add FROST SensorThings Plugin
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.
6. Add a panel (bar icon with plus on the top right)
7. Make sure the correct datasource is chosen.
8. Choose Advanced mode and select the desired cache time. Add your path to the Observations you want to visualize (without the baseURL, but keeping the leading /) e.g. /Datastreams(1)/Observations. It is recommended to order the Observations by phenomenonTime (?$orderby=phenomenonTime).
