Proposal:
Give users a way to easily share dashboards and individual charts without requiring a login.
Shared dashboards should be accessible via a relatively short, simple URL in one of the following formats.
For InfluxDB OSS 2:
hostname:9999/chart/GUID.js
Example:
localhost:9999/chart/33533452sfa345235scxgdsfg.js
For InfluxDB Cloud 2:
influxdata.com/chart/GUID.js
Example:
influxdata.com/chart/33533452sfa345235scxgdsfg.js
Current behavior:
Currently, sharing charts requires logging into InfluxDB, which in turn requires logging into an InfluxDB account.
Desired behavior:
There are two personas below:
1) InfluxDB admin: a person who has admin access to an InfluxDB instance and knows how to setup InfluxDB dashboards.
2) Chart consumer: a person who views InfluxDB charts. They don't necessarily have admin access to InfluxDB, nor how to set up InfluxDB dashboards.
An InfluxDB admin clicks on an icon in a dashboard or individual chart, which copies a URL to the clipboard. user can then past it into a URL, Slack message, email, text, or other location.
A chart consumer clicks the URL, and their browser sees a live-updated version of the chart. The chart consumer can embed the URL into a webpage using the Githubissues.
Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.
