Allow users to alias dashboard panels / timeframes #3

Closed stephenyeargin closed 9 years ago

stephenyeargin commented 9 years ago

Using the default robot.brain (often backed by Redis or some other storage), allow the user to alias complex queries. The alias would recall the stored data and replay it as if the user had entered it themselves.

hubot grafana alias logins = dashboard webapp-overview:3 now-1h now

Perhaps hubot-alias could be used instead, it's a more general solution.

@Tenzer Have you had acceptable results with it in practice?

Tenzer commented 9 years ago

I never really got around to test it, I guess I haven't really had the need to show the same graph/dashboard enough times to justify me looking into it.

Cool. I will close this off for now and recommend anyone with a need try hubot-alias as a workaround. Baking it in here wouldn't be terribly difficult, but it would make the plugin that much more code to maintain.
