Support for using prometheus `read` endpoint as datasource for the default (`swagger-stats/#/`) dashboards #203

As per my understanding the built in dashboard for swagger stats currently supports only in memory stored data. Is it possible to set up prometheus read endpoint as the datasource for the dashboard UI (like elastic search).

It's possible, however it would make Prometheus a mandatory dependency - as a data source for built-in dashboards. Being able to see built-in dashboard without any dependencies is valuable, in my opinion I would open this suggestion for voting for now - let me know what's preferred please

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I think an Adapter like system would help. Swagger stats can have pluggable adapters like:

Prometheus Adapter
ElasticSearch Adapter
...etc These adapters will connect to various data sources, read from them and pass the data onto swagger stats in a predefined and standard data format. Any other ideas?
