CSV and JSON API data sources: support ends February 1, 2027
CSV and JSON API data sources: support ends February 1, 2027
The CSV and JSON API data sources are deprecated. Both plugins move into a critical-security-updates-only phase: they keep receiving critical security fixes, but no new features or non-security bug fixes. Support for both data sources ends February 1, 2027.
Why we’re changing it
The Infinity data source covers the same CSV and JSON workflows as these two plugins, and adds support for authentication methods, alerting, and other backend operations that the CSV and JSON API data sources don’t support. Consolidating on Infinity gives you one actively developed data source for URL and file-based data instead of two narrower plugins.
What is not changing
Your existing dashboards and queries built on the CSV or JSON API data sources keep working exactly as they do today. Neither plugin is removed on February 1, 2027: only non-security updates stop. Critical security fixes continue for both plugins after that date.
What to check before this rolls out
- If you use the CSV data source, migrate to the Infinity data source before February 1, 2027. The Infinity data source CSV learning path walks through using Infinity for CSV workflows.
- If you use the JSON API data source, migrate to the Infinity data source before February 1, 2027. The Infinity data source JSON learning path walks through using Infinity for JSON workflows.
- If you use neither data source, no action is needed.
