Sending metrics from kafka to grafana

I have a use case in which metrics will be written to kafka topics and from there I have to send these metrics to a grafana collection point.

Can it be done without a datasource?

Any idea how it can be done?

I found this open source code that is basically a kafka plugin for Grafana.

You can either use it straightaway or get inspired to write your own Grafana plugin.

You need to store your metrics somewhere and then visualize it. If you want to use Grafana, you can store metric data from Kafka to Elasticsearch via connectors. I think you can also store them in InfluxDB, Graphite, and Prometheus. You can use data source plugins that Grafana provides.

Also using Kibana is a good option. Kibana is like Graphana. Elasticsearch and Kibana are part of Elastic Stack.
