Getting Started#
Plugin Test Environment#
The simplest way to play around with Sierra Plot is to use the docker-compose plugin test environment
Docker compose will run a container with a Grafana instance (pn port 3000) that has the Sierra Plot plugin installed, along with a number of sample dashboards
Examples#
The following examples can be used to get a better practical sense of how Sierra Plots work
Each example contains the source data (in csv format) and a sample dashboard JSON file
To load the data into Grafana, the CSV Datasource plugin is required
When using the CSV Datasource, the prepare time series transformation needs to be used (already configured in the sample dashboard JSONs)
Note
The data used in the following examples should not be used for any actual analysis. Some of the data is completely generated, while some is based on real-world data sets, but with modifications made just for the purpose of these examples
