Function without Netdata Cloud

[sw5ciprl]

In its current state, the Grafana plugin works through Netdata Cloud. However, if every node exposes its own metric data, and it can be organized via a registry, can it be possible to make this plugin work by connecting to the registry node?

Do you mean to make it work with a parent node instead of Netdata cloud? If true, then that would be awesome.

Maybe it is as simple as changing the URL in src/plugin.json :thinking:

one of the reasons, besides promoting more Cloud, is that there should be away to ensure you have authorization access to the agents. if this was simply exposed from the agent how would the authentication/authorization be dealt?

there is actually an active discussion on this topic here

I don't see an issue with no authentication if the data is being sent in a centralized manner e.g. a single server having streaming on and a Prometheus API endpoint being available locally.

my use case is basically on the same laptop I want to have netdata and grafana and just see my netdata information from grafana this is already possible by exporting information from netdata to promethius to grafana so why not make life easier
