Unity Catalog support in Grafana Databricks plugin

We’ve added support for Databricks Unity Catalog, enabling secure and consistent access to governed data directly within Grafana.

This enhancement allows users to easily query and visualize datasets registered in Unity Catalog while maintaining the same fine-grained permissions and lineage tracking defined in Databricks. With this integration, teams can build dashboards confidently knowing their data follows centralized governance, access control, and compliance standards across all workspaces.

To enable support for Databricks Unity Catalog, you must check the corresponding checkbox in the configuration page of your Grafana Databricks plugin:

If the checkbox is left unchecked, the old layout with dataset and table dropdown menus is displayed.
