What is the Pixie Datasource Grafana Plugin?
Pixie is an observability platform for Kubernetes. It allows developers to debug, monitor, and explore their applications.
This plugin allows Grafana users to use Pixie as a datasource in their Grafana dashboards. Pixie's data can be accessed using PxL, the query language for the data it collects. This datasource allows Grafana users to enter a PxL script when using Pixie as a datasource for a panel in their dashboard.
Getting started
Install Pixie on your Kubernetes cluster.
