Hi everyone!

Json Datasource usage is growing rapidly and I feel like it's time for this question 🙂. Please answer the following questions if you use the datasource:

Thanks!

We are using your Json Datasource for our Open Source Home automation project Home Control Home Control is a no-cloud IOT system with backend, web frontend and firmware for esp8266 based IOT devices. The Datasource is used to visualize collected metrics of IOT devices, mostly enviromental sensors.

It's a two person project, with about 5.000 lines of code accross frontend, backend and firmware. You are allowed to name us and use our logo.

We are using the datasource as the layer between grafana and the trend database powering the Cornell University energy portal at https://portal.emcs.cornell.edu/ This way we are able to protect against sql injection and DOS attacks by limiting query size and parameters, but still use the payload to pass parameters for custom queries ( e.g. synthetic columns like projected values, zero fill missing data, unit conversion, and exposing multiple databases as a single data source)

I develop browser game, there is an event sourcing on the backend so I can build analytics from my own and use this JSON datasource as the best solution I found for this purpose. In most cases I visualize some business metrics, like economics changes. The project name is Penta-Trick Football Manager. You can use it as a reference if you want to.

I use it as a replacement for Grafana's unmaintained SimpleJSON datasource. I only use it for personal projects, mainly to display covid-related data in Grafana.

FYI: since I do all my development in Go, I wrote a wrapper around the datasource API: https://github.com/clambin/grafana-json-server.

Q: What project are you using this for? If possible, please name the company too. A: I am using this plugin for presenting the network monitoring (LiveNX) data. I developed a backend service (with Python Django) to transform the original data to the proper shape required by this plugin.

Q: What is your project's size (LOC or number of people working on it)? A: Around 10, but I am the only one who is responsible for the Python project.

Q: Is it okay if we use the project's name and logo in the readme? A: Not now. Hopefully I can find a time slot to put the code into a public project.
