Prerequisites

Before executing the script to retrieve a Grafana datasource ID, ensure the following requirements are met:

  1. Grafana Server Access: You must have network access to the Grafana instance, including the correct IP address and port number.

  2. User Credentials: A valid Grafana username and password with sufficient permissions to access the API and retrieve datasource information.

  3. Datasource Name: You must know the exact name of the datasource whose ID you wish to find.

  4. Command-line Tools:

    • curl: Used to send HTTP requests to the Grafana API.

    • jq: (Optional) A command-line tool for parsing JSON responses. If not installed, the script will return the full JSON response, but the jq tool is recommended to extract the id more cleanly.

Ensure these prerequisites are configured before running the script to ensure a smooth process.
