alanmcruickshank opened a new issue #2686: [feature] Prometheus (or other TSDB) as data source
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/2686
 
 
   Currently we have SQLAlchemy and Druid as datasources for Superset.
   
   Would introducing a connection to a time series database like [prometheus ](https://prometheus.io/) or [graphite](https://graphiteapp.org/) be compatible with the roadmap for Superset? There would be value for our use case to have superset as the central point for all our metrics whether or not they live in a SQL-like datastore.
   
   A couple of considerations for implementation:
   
   - Given the different method of querying (it's not SQL), it would have to be a top level connection type.
   - There would be only one possible time column, just "time". There is no concept of different times fields.
   
   Do people think this would be a good idea, or something that would actually get in the way more than anything?
