Allow local mode

This allows you to read files from local computer.

Reading files from the local file system is disabled by default. To allow local mode, add the following to your Grafana config file:

ini Copy

[plugin.marcusolsson-csv-datasource]
allow_local_mode = true

Note: Local mode option is not available in Grafana Cloud and other hosted grafana environments. In such cases, use a web server such as nginx to serve the CSV files over http and then use http url such as http://localhost/my-csv-app/my-csv-file.csv.
