Setup for Testing Datasource Plugins

The largest part of the work for reviewing a datasource plugin is setting up the datasource. This is a guide for setting up the different databases needed for testing.

Akumuli Datasource

There is a test server for akumuli at http://206.189.27.155:8181/ and this is the only setting (URL field) needed to create a datasource connection.

Atlas Datasource

To get Atlas running with some sample data:

curl -LO https://github.com/Netflix/atlas/releases/download/v1.5.3/atlas-1.5.3-standalone.jar
java -jar atlas-1.5.3-standalone.jar

DeviceHive

  1. https://playground.devicehive.com/
  2. Sign up
  3. Create a device with curl (curl command is on playground)
  4. Copy the access token for the data source
  5. Use the admin console on playground to send commands. Name: test Parameters: {"test": 1} or {"test2": 1}

Instana

  1. cd data/plugins/instana-datasource
  2. docker-compose up mountebank
  3. Create datasource for Instana in Grafana with url: http://localhost:8010. You don't need an API key so just ignore the validation error.
  4. Create new dashboard with graph panel
  5. Query: "filler" and then select something from the dropdowns.

LinkSmart SensorThings Datasource

  1. Use the following docker-compose file to start a SensorThings server (the server implementation is called Gost) with a postgres db with GIS installed:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gost/docker-compose/master/docker-compose.yml (From this repo)

  2. Test that it is working. The following command should return a json file with an empty array and not an error: curl http://localhost:8080/v1.0/Things

  3. Create some data using Postman. Gost has a collection of HTTP commands for Postman that you can use to create sensors, things and data. Import this collection into Postman and run some POST commands to create datapoints.

  4. Create a datasource in Grafana and set this value in the url field: http://localhost:8080/v1.0

Prometheus Alert Manager Datasource

Grafana has a docker block for prometheus that includes everything needed to test this datasource.

In Grafana source root folder:

  • cd docker
  • ./create_docker_compose.sh prometheus
  • docker-compose up
  • create datasource in Grafana with url: http://127.0.0.1:9093
  • Fill in the severity level fields
