Teach Grafana to read mdsplus data

[joshStillerman]

It would be great to teach graphana which we use for other displays to be able to display mdsplus data. There are security issues with allowing a web based tool to access data - this will take some care.

not sue where the server is located and who is managing it but would it not be sufficient to teach it to talk to a wsgi server. or make a dedicated wsgi server conforming an existing REST standard graphana already knows about

I would use Node.js

Node.js thin client interface is already available in MDSplus distribution

Great -

  This looks very doable!

Take the python one from sparc-daq3 and add it to the mdsplus repo (or make it one the the MDSplus companion repos)
