Could not share externally in grafana.

[liudonghua123]

Hi, I got There are data sources in this dashboard that are unsupported for shared dashboards. Panels that use these data sources may not function properly: victoriametrics-metrics-datasource. when trying to share the dashboard externally.

The http url of victoriametrics-metrics-datasource is public accessed and without auth.

How can I configure the victoriametrics-metrics-datasource to allow the dashboard share externally without problems.

I also noticed the following documentation on shared-dashboards/#supported-data-sources.

Externally shared dashboards should work with any data source that has the properties backend and alerting both set to true in its plugin.json.

From the current content of plugin.json, the conditions are met.

See also https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/dashboards/share-dashboards-panels/shared-dashboards/#supported-data-sources.

grafana has a list of plugins, which are support this functionality

@AndrewChubatiuk grafana/grafana#104910 has been merged. As I understand, sharing will become available for VictoriaMetrics datasource with new Grafana release for v11 or v12 lines?
