grafana-timelion-datasource

ELK Timelion's data source for Grafana

Setup

Set the url for your ES server like: http://server:port/api/timelion (Same server where your Kibana instance is running)

Features

Query

Only query datasource feature is implemented. Multiple queries can be specified using same metric like: .es(*).label(metric1),.es(q=*,offset=1d).label(metric2) Or defining multiple metrics.

Refer to Timelion's documentation for more details on writing queries: https://github.com/elastic/timelion/blob/master/FUNCTIONS.md

Labeling

Use the label() function to set the name of the metric

Interval

Use the scale_interval() function to specify metric interval. Grafana templating values are allowed

Variables

Starting with version 1.0.1 you can retrieve variables from Timelion labels.

Annotations

You can query annotations using Timelion as follow:

Notes:

• Data will be returned as <label>: <value> example q* > host > count: 10
• Define a regexp to split label and use capture groups for: title, description, tags
• Timelion always returns a data point for each tick in the time range. Use Ignore value to discard invalid values. Default value is 0.
