Business Input for Grafana

This project was originally contributed by Volkov Labs - thanks for all your great work!

[!CAUTION] This data source plugin is now in maintenance mode. It will continue to receive only minimal updates required for compatibility with Grafana 12.x. No new features will be developed. To ensure long-term support and access to new capabilities, we recommend using the Infinity data source plugin.
