Oninit® Grafana Data Sources — Configure

Both plugins share the same connection model: a single Informix® wire-listener endpoint, optional TLS, and standard Informix authentication. The configuration editor is reached from Connections → Data sources → Add data source after the plugin is installed.

Connection

TLS

The plugin honours the wire-listener's TLS configuration directly. Three modes are supported via the TLS / SSL section of the editor:

The Skip TLS verify toggle exists for local-development convenience only; production deployments should keep certificate verification enabled.

Per-plugin notes

The two plugins differ only in the query-side fields exposed by the query editor. The connection-side configuration is identical:

• oninit-json-datasource — the query editor exposes collection, filter, projection, sort, and limit fields. The connection editor adds a Default collection field for queries that omit it.
• oninit-wire-datasource — the query editor exposes a single SQL text area for pure SQL statements. The editor handles ordinary relational SQL plus the two SQL surfaces Informix exposes for TimeSeries data — direct TS SQL routine calls (Calendar, GetRange, Apply, Hits, …) against a TimeSeries column, and Virtual Table (VT) selects that present a TimeSeries column as a relational view. The connection editor adds no extra fields beyond the shared connection set.

Test

The Save & test button at the bottom of the editor issues a health request against the listener and surfaces either a success banner or the listener's error message verbatim. A typical first-run failure is a TLS-verification mismatch (certificate common name does not match the URL hostname) or an authentication failure (the configured user lacks CONNECT privilege on the named database). Both surface as plain-text listener responses in the test result.
