Hi, my name is Torkel Ödegaard. Grafana project creator & lead. Here to answer any questions.

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!

I 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?

It 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...

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.

Earlier 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/.
