More setup steps

[beenanner]

For the Oauth Client Id does it need to be a web application? I'm not entirely clear on how to create the Oauth client ID. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll try to submit a pull-request for the setup steps. Hopefully this makes it to the official grafana plugins soon. Seems super nice!

I also got it working chrome was blocking the popup to approve the api and I think it was blocking me after clicking test too many times or something.

Did you get around to doing this?

[timc3]

I am getting failed to initialize

Ok just found it. When creating the OAuth token I needed to set the Authorised JavaScript origins and Authorised redirect URIs to the hostname I am using for Grafana

Sorry for poor documentation... I'll try to improve document if I have a time.
But, document contribution is welcome, if somebody improve document, it's really helpful.

@timc3 @mtanda sorry for the delay let me try to update the docs this week when I get a break from work. :-)

[mtanda]

@beenanner Thanks lot for your help!

[timc3]

Much appreciated.

@mtanda why is this implemented with OAuth2 rather than an API key that is restricted to the Stackdriver Monitoring API?

[mtanda]

@mweiden Because Google provides a library which uses OAuth2, and it is an only available library for Browser-side Javascript.

@mtanda couldn't this be used with the Datasource in proxy mode? https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/features/authentication#simple-access-using-the-api-key

@mweiden
Recently, I need to use service account, so I try to support it.
It is not tested, but you can try it.
