add resultFormat field to Target

[dougsc]

I’m using the SDK to manage dashboards and alerts as code. I hit an issue trying to create alerts based on InfluxDB raw query targets. When testing the alert in grafana I see this error message:

request handler error: failed to query data: type assertion to string failed

The grafana code here seems to require that the resultFormat JSON field must be present.

I tested the change in the PR locally (by adding ResultFormat: "time_series" to my Target definition) and the alert performs as expected without the error message.

Let me know if you need any more details, Thanks.
