Local mode

With the Local request mode, the Grafana HTTP API data source connects to the local configuration storage using the same Grafana privileges a user has been assigned during login and, thus, simplifies the access policy.

The Local request mode has no parameters.

The new Local request mode has no parameters.

With the Remote request mode, the privileges are taken from the token and might differ from those assigned during login into Grafana.

Values in Annotations

Starting from this release, the HTTP API data source digests the Values field from the Annotations's text.

Values field is digested from the Annotations.

As shown below, you can always use transformations to have one value per column format.

Use the transformation 'Extract fields' to convert Values into columns.

Organization Users

Request in the query editor is a drop-down parameter that appears when you connect your panel to the HTTP API data source. In addition to all existing options, we added Organization Users. The picture below illustrates the new possibility.
