I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your work on Grafana. It's an indispensable tool that I couldn't do my job without!

#52Company I am working at has moved from dozens of graphanas across multiple teams to Datadog and I miss it dearly.
Why did they move away from Grafana?

#53"Thank you" doesn't seem to suffice. Where might I donate?
Re: Grafana 7.0
#54I really hope the new plugin architecture does not change for a while. The biggest reason we are still on an older grafana release at work is because we don't have resources to update our plugins to the later versions. And now we have to migrate to yet another new architecture?

#55It would be nice to have yearly, monthly, weekly and other recurring graph, I tried to hack it with sql window function, but it gives lot of problems. https://community.grafana.com/t/yearly-monthly-weekly-and-ot...

#56My biggest thing I wish was fixed was being able to use template variables in alerts. https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/6557 Right now you have to make a chart that has every server on it or a graph per server. I would love to not have to do that

Hi, I used Grafana in my last company and absolutely loved it. How do I convince my current company to get the hell off Datadog?
We just moved everything from datadog to Grafana, Prometheus and Loki, mainly due to cost. Honestly though, I feel like we get more out of the Grafana stack. Its powerful but simple enough to keep it pleasant to work with.

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
At work we have to compile everything from source because compliance, and Grafana is one of the harder ones to get right. There used to be good documentation for it a few versions back but I can't seem to find it lately. Is there any good documentation on how to get Grafana compiled from source?
I just built it from sources because of the same reason. What are the issues on your side?
I've got a complicated proxy setup to contend with and have to build via Jenkins on some older Linux boxes, so it's just trial and error. You have a build script you'd be willing to share?

I'm not sure you need window functions for your query.
Have you tried something like this?
SELECT time, '2018' as metric, value FROM metrics
WHERE time >= '2018-01-01' AND time UNION ALL
SELECT time - '1 year'::interval, '2019' as metric, value FROM metrics
WHERE time >= '2019-01-01' AND time ORDER by time;
You will have a 2018 and a 2019 line if you plot this. (And you can of course make the time-periods dynamic.)
Note: One of our (TimescaleDB) engineers authored and contributed the PostgreSQL data source to Grafana. We happen to see quite a few Grafana dashboards built with SQL. If you'd like to debug in real-time then I'd suggest joining our Slack: https://slack.timescale.com/.
