GrafanaCubism-Panel v0.1.1

cubism, grafana  · 

A lot have changed since I last talked about the cubism for grafana plugin.

For once the company where I used to work (Rockset) got acquired by another one and so right when I as about to release 0.0.8 I had to prep for interviews and so this version got delayed by a month or so. Then I had a crazy amount of work to port our Infra to the new infra and couldn’t work on posting notes.

Sometime in August someone reached out to me to report a bug in 0.0.8 so I decided to release 0.1.0 with the fix and to mark the fact that things are more stable.

So let me bring you up to speed with the changes over the last few months.

Plugin is now signed

My plugin got approved and so I can sign it now, as I’m writing this I’m still waiting for the plugin version 0.1.1 to be signed but you can already go to my github and use the latest release (currently 0.1.1) to grab the latest artifact (this one for the moment).

And then install it with

grafana cli \
  --pluginUrl \
  https://github.com/ekacnet/grafanacubism-panel/releases/download/v0.1.1/ekacnet-cubismgrafana-panel-0.1.1.zip \
  plugins install ekacnet-cubismgrafana-panel

Extrapolation has been one more time reworked

I discovered more shortcoming with the previous version of the extrapolation even though it was better than the first one.

I initially thought about doing more checks to better figure out when to downsample and upsample but somehow one day I got a stroke of genius and realized that regular graphs in grafana are able to do the extrapolation as well and that they were able to not display a continuous line if datapoints were missing.

You can use links properies to allow to zoom and drill down on a graph.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, or simply want to show your support, feel free to buy me a coffee.
