Hello,
I’m currently using grafana to visualize data from InfluxDB, and would like to use a hyperlink in form of a HTTP request from a dashboard to insert data into the database.
Is something like this possible?
Hi @_OD,
Welcome to the community! So yes absolutely possible as a string value. You would then have to ask grafana to map that string as a URL. I would advise saving your URL as a field rather than a tag as depending on the length of the hyper links and how many you have this can lead to cardinality issues

Hello Jay,
Thank you for a quick and relevant response. Would it be possible to also send an example, which I could paste into my browser, and which would insert the data? I’m trying to set datalinks for my panels, and by clicking on a specific data point, some information about that point would get passed to the DB, and after would trigger an influx task.
HI @_OD
You would need to check for examples with grafana on how to do that. I would just store your URL as a string or tag within influxDB like you are your other fields and tags.
