About

Use jsonnet to generate Grafana-compliant json scripts for use with TiDB.

Why jsonnet?

1. jsonnet is a DSL created by Google for json, which is good for advanced json editing work.
2. Grafana provides the jsonnet library specifically for generating Grafana json, which makes maintaining TiDB's json scripts much easier.

Usage

1. Modify the jsonnet files (e.g. tidb_summary.jsonnet).
2. Run generate_json.sh to generate the json files by the jsonnet files.
3. Commit the modifications.
