NAME

grafana-util-datasource-browse - Open a live datasource browser against Grafana with in-place modify and delete actions.

SYNOPSIS

grafana-util datasource browse [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Open a live datasource browser against Grafana with in-place modify and delete actions.

Use this when you want an interactive inventory view for inspecting, editing, or deleting live datasources.

BEFORE / AFTER

  • Before: you had to bounce between inventory pages, edit dialogs, and delete prompts to inspect a datasource.
  • After: one browser view keeps the live inventory in front of you and puts edit/delete actions next to the rows you are reviewing.

COMMON OPTIONS

--org-id
browse one explicit Grafana org.
--all-orgs
aggregate datasource browsing across visible orgs. Requires Basic auth.
Shared live flags
--url, --token, --basic-user, --basic-password.

SUCCESS CRITERIA

  • you can inspect the live list without losing context
  • edit and delete actions stay close to the rows they affect
  • org-scoped browsing is obvious before you change anything

FAILURE CHECKS

  • if the browser opens with missing rows, verify the org scope and the credentials used for the view
  • if edit or delete actions are missing, confirm that the account actually has permission to mutate datasources
  • if the org switch looks wrong, check whether --all-orgs or --org-id is being used intentionally

EXAMPLES

Open a live datasource browser against Grafana with in-place modify and delete actions.

grafana-util datasource browse --url http://localhost:3000 --basic-user admin --basic-password admin
