Data Manipulation Plugin for Grafana | Manual data entering and User input into Dashboard

Dashboards do not have to be one-way streets. The Data Manipulation plugin provides a user interface to enter data right into your dashboard. That opens a door into the world of endless possibilities of interactivity.

This video does two things. First, it showcases the plugin and gives a tutorial on installing and setting it up.

Surveys in Grafana are free and easy to set up and can include confidential and proprietary information. Manual parameter entering provides seamless data transmission. Feedback forms help organize end-user requests in one place.

Awesome plugin and video! We are interested in having a "Feedback" button that activates a modal with a feedback form. Is it possible to activate modals with embedded plugins in a Grafana dashboard? Thanks!

Is it possible to include a variable for the server address in the GET and POST URLs? The handler is on the same server bit on a different port, so can get it to work on the local LCD screen (localhost) but then it doesn't work on a remote computer. Great plugins, Thanks,

Is there a way to integrate this plugin wit the echarts one? For example I see on the video you set some graphs, wondering if there is way to mix them or something like that.

Hi, is there any way that the form elements can display the values from the initial SQL query? ie. if (in your example) "question" field is already on the database record you have retrieved, can it be pre-populated in the Form Element ?

Hi, thanks for this great plugin, it fit perfectly to our company.

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct channel to ask but I'm trying to reset my dropdown (Custom options) in the plugin but can't get it. I do it in the text box but not the dropdown, even I got to fill it. I'm adding and receiving from database perfectly so far but need a little assistance with this. Didn't find any documentation to help me with some details.

Can you help me or someone else, or recommend me where can I ask or get this kind of detailed info?

Thanks in advance.
