I got the Grafana stuff installed, it does the fake-json-source ok, and with FF developer tools I'm seeing the traffic to my nascent endpoint.
When configuring the datasource URL, it does a GET to the base URL (the one just for "checking in", return an HTTP 200; I put a little status json into the response body just for grins). When you configure a panel (the youtube videos they provide are important here) and select a metric , it will do an OPTIONS and then a POST. I had put some CORS headers into my response, because FF is seeing me return data when it accesses the Gravana server. [Sidebar question: does the book cover anything about valid CORS? I didn't find it if it's there; fortunately, there were some good posts in the GG archive. The book does have little bits about providing protection against against black-hat CORS.] The request to me seems to come from the client JS -- since it shows in the network panel -- but FF gives CORS errors if I don't have the headers. So now I just have to make a good response to the metric requests. /dps > > On Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 10:50:23 PM UTC+1, Dave S wrote: >> >> I'm trying to implement a simple json endpoint for Grafana.
