The UI feels _very_ similar to Grafana. Even the dashboard folders look exactly the same to me. I would have thought that Grafana being AGPL woudl specifically forbid this?

Edit: Or maybe the AGPL just requires releasing any code you change? I could be confused.

It’s indeed Grafana. We’ve been maintaing a public fork of Grafana.
Where do you keep the code?

Found it: https://github.com/oodle-ai/grafana

Why do this instead of just build a data source?

Edit: Not to be that guy (but I'm about to be that guy). You have links to grafana.com (which, is your competitor), all over the source in your page. This also lists the version as 11.1.0, which was released 6-21.

All of the versions in your fork repo mention 11.0.0-pre. Did I find the wrong repo, or are you using code that you haven't published?

The reason I mostly care is that this is the sort of reason that good open source projects get closed down, and that makes me a bit sad.

Oodle can be utilized solely as a datasource, but we also wanted to provide a solution for customers who don’t have a visualization platform in place.

Here is the branch we use: https://github.com/oodle-ai/grafana/tree/v11.1.0-oodle-stabl..., which has all the changes we have made in Grafana.

So the vast majority of your fork is just rebranding? Customers get to lose thousands of commits worth of improvements for that?
We are reasonably close to the latest version of Grafana. We periodically pull in new changes.
I presume its more due to licensing than rebranding.
