Summary: Grafana config example obsolete

Description Ray 2017-11-02 21:07:10 UTC
In http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/realtime-results.html section 15.4 the configuration of Grafana is described. The provided information is, however, obsolete for Grafana 2.x see: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/migrating_to2/#adding-data-sources section.

I would assume that #15.3 is also obsolete as creating a grafana database shouldn't be needed anymore.

Thanks for report.
Would you like to contribute a PR fixing this documentation ?:
