The given JavaScript code processes data from a Grafana panel and extracts unique store names into a Set
object called storeSet
. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what the code does:
What the code does:
-
Define a
Set
to store unique store names:const storeSet = new Set();
- This initializes an empty
Set
, which is a collection of values where duplicates are automatically removed.
- This initializes an empty
-
Iterate over series data in Grafana:
context.panel.data.series.forEach((seriesObj) => {
context.panel.data.series
refers to the data series from the Grafana panel. Each data series object (seriesObj
) contains metadata and other details about the series.
-
Extract the store name:
storeSet.add(seriesObj.meta.custom.labels["metric.label.store"]);
- For each
seriesObj
, the code accesses a property deep in the metadata:seriesObj.meta.custom.labels["metric.label.store"]
. This is assumed to be the store name associated with the series. - The extracted store name is added to the
storeSet
. SinceSet
ensures that only unique values are stored, duplicate store names are automatically handled.
- For each
-
Log each store name:
console.log(seriesObj.meta.custom.labels["metric.label.store"]);
- This logs each store name fetched from the data series for debugging or informational purposes.
-
Log the final
Set
:console.log(storeSet);
- After the
forEach
loop, the finalSet
containing all unique store names is logged to the console.
- After the
How to use this in Grafana:
The code assumes that you are using Grafana and working with JavaScript-based custom panels (e.g., via plugins or custom scripts). After this code runs, you will have a storeSet
variable containing all unique stores from your data series. You could then use the storeSet
to populate the Store
variable in your Grafana dashboard.
Here’s an example of how you might populate the Store
variable in Grafana:
const storeArray = Array.from(storeSet); // Convert the Set to an Array
grafana.variables.set("Store", storeArray); // Assuming grafana.variables.set() is available or use a suitable API
Summary:
- This code extracts store information from the
metric.label.store
field of Grafana series metadata. - It stores unique store names in a
Set
. - For integration with Grafana, the store names can be converted to an array and used to update a dashboard variable called
Store
.
