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.

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.

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
