NAME

grafana-util-datasource-types - Show the built-in supported datasource type catalog.

SYNOPSIS

grafana-util datasource types [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Show the built-in supported datasource type catalog.

Use this when you need to see the canonical datasource type ids that the CLI normalizes and supports for create flows.

BEFORE / AFTER

  • Before: you had to guess the canonical plugin type ids from UI labels, examples, or stale notes.
  • After: one catalog lists the built-in datasource type ids the CLI normalizes for create flows.

COMMON OPTIONS

--output-format
render the catalog as text, table, csv, json, or yaml.

SUCCESS CRITERIA

  • you can pick the right type id before creating or modifying a datasource
  • the list is short enough to scan quickly but explicit enough for automation

FAILURE CHECKS

  • if a type is missing, confirm whether the plugin is actually supported by this repo version
  • if the catalog does not match the Grafana you expect, check whether you are looking at an older binary
