Naming things

[amotl]

Dear @ryantxu and @dprokop,

after successfully testing the outcome of [1], we are thinking about the name of this panel again while it will probably stay in the panodata staging area for a while to receive further stabilization, maturing and maybe even more features.

In order to get it into the hands of more people, I pushed for being able to run the packaging process efficiently through grafana-toolkit. Thanks again for conceiving this guy and for helping me out with [2].

To support bringing it to the masses in the current form, I would like to rename this again in order to allow for side-by-side installation with the existing Grafana Worldmap Panel - even on Grafana instances people are running in production.

While I called it grafana-worldmap-panel-ng before, I am currently thinking of just naming it grafana-map-panel, which I find to be short and concise.

With kind regards, Andreas.

The most recent release can be installed side-by-side with the existing Grafana Worldmap Panel through

grafana-cli \
  --pluginUrl https://packages.hiveeyes.org/grafana/grafana-map-panel/grafana-map-panel-0.6.0.zip \
  plugins install grafana-map-panel

To switch dashboards over from grafana-worldmap-panel to grafana-map-panel, grafana-wtf got an improvement through [1], which makes this process very convenient, like:

# Define target Grafana instance and authentication token.
export GRAFANA_URL=https://daq.example.org/grafana/
export GRAFANA_TOKEN=eyJrIjoiWHg...dGJpZCI6MX0=

# Invoke that jazz.
grafana-wtf --select-dashboard=_JJ22OZZk replace grafana-worldmap-panel grafana-map-panel
