Business News
The RSS/Atom data source joins the Business Suite for Grafana and with that gets an elevated name. Now, the same amazing open source plugin is called the Business News data source.
The Business News data source is a plugin for Grafana that retrieves RSS/Atom feeds and allows visualizing them using Business Text and other panels.
Requirements
- Business News Data Source 4.X requires Grafana 10 or Grafana 11.
- RSS/Atom Data Source 3.X requires Grafana 9 or Grafana 10.
- RSS/Atom Data Source 2.X requires Grafana 8.5 or Grafana 9.
- RSS/Atom Data Source 1.X requires Grafana 8.
Getting Started
The Business News data source can be installed from the Grafana Catalog or utilizing the Grafana command line tool.
For the latter, please use the following command.
grafana cli plugins install volkovlabs-rss-datasource
Highlights
- Supports RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 and Atom.
- Works with Dynamic Text visualization panel.
- Returns Channel (Feed) data, Items (Entries) or both as separate data frames.
- Extract and parse as additional fields:

Tutorial
This is a very detailed tutorial in which Daria explains what RSS/Atom format is and how to find appropriate links for further usage. She then demonstrates how to install and configure the Business News data source on your Grafana dashboard. She touches upon Grafana's transformations to show little data transformation tricks.
The tutorial was created two years ago, and since then, we significantly improved the Business News data source. The new video is on our road map.
