## Simple JSON Datasource Plugin

Grafana support is implemented through plugin Simple JSON Datasource:
https://grafana.com/plugins/grafana-simple-json-datasource

The plugin can be installed following the instructions at:
http://docs.grafana.org/plugins/installation/

## Adding a Grafana Datasource
Once the plugin Simple JSON Datasource is ready, a new Grafana
datasource must be added in order to interact with ntopng.
To add a new datasouce, select the Datasources Grafana menu. Specify
"SimpleJson" as datasource type.

In the HTTP settings of the datasource, insert the ntopng url up to
the Grafana root endpoint. For example:
http://192.168.2.130:3000/lua/modules/grafana

Then, tick "Basic Auth" and specify username and password of a user
that is authorized to access ntopng.

Finally, hit "Save and Test" to make sure the datasource is properly
configured. If everything is ok, Grafana will show a message "Success
Data source is working".

## Adding Dashboard Panels
With the new datasource properly configured, it is possible to add new
panels that retrieve data from ntopng. To add a new panel, visit a
dashboard select "Add Row", click on the panel type, and then select
the newely created datasource.
