Hey there,
great code!
unfortunately im not sure on how to extend it i got the example to run.

What i would like to achieve is, reading an entire Dataframe in a loop:
something like:

while True:
    df = pd.DataFrame(lst)
    --> and here i would like to add your code to read the df and send it to Grafana
```

any suggestions on that? 
 

I'm triying to create a dashboard to visualize some data from pandas dataframe.
As a beginner using grafana, the documentation lacks for detailled explanation for beginners in how to configure SimpleJson datasource and use it. After some search on internet I try to run this script and have the following error : <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <title>400 Bad Request</title> <h1>Bad Request</h1> <p>Failed to decode JSON object: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)</p> after some search on internet, It seems to be a Flask problem, but I'm not sure.
I'm stuck in this step

Can anyone what Im doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Hi,

@linar-jether added the note to the Gist's title recently, but nevertheless we would like to add a corresponding comment here: We converged this code into a dedicated repository grafana-pandas-datasource the other day [1] and will be happy to receive contributions of any kind. The program is also just making it into the grafana-awesome compilation [2] curated by @zuchka - thanks!

Thank you again, Linar!

With kind regards,
Andreas.

TypeError: DataFrame.resample() got an unexpected keyword argument 'how'

if I use create_app() it doesn't give this error but any print('test',flush=True) doesn't print anything on console .I tried debugger and many forms of print ..but failed . Now i can run this app but fail to understand the flow using print . Is it must of use create_app() function in code .
How can I now print values on console using print Any suggestions ?

Hi @tvirmani,

let us know if you have any problems to get grafana-pandas-datasource working. If you find any flaws, please report them on its issue tracker.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
