Deprecated data source APIs disabled by default

Data source APIs that referenced data sources using a numeric id were deprecated in Grafana v9.0 in favor of APIs that reference data sources using a uid instead. In Grafana v13.0, these deprecated APIs are disabled by default.

Mitigation

If you require these deprecated APIs, you can re-enable them by enabling the datasourceLegacyIdApi feature toggle in your grafana.ini or custom.ini configuration file. For more information, refer to the [feature_toggles] configuration documentation.

Note

These deprecated APIs and the datasourceLegacyIdApi feature toggle will be removed in a future release.
