@marcusolsson could you look to this PR ?
why PR still not merged? why process so complicated and continue more than 1 month?

I have a question about the Yandex.Cloud authorization headers. The X-ClickHouse-Key field is saved in jsonData (clear text) and it is easy to see the value for it in the network request. Is this a credential that should be saved in secureJsonData and added as a header on the backend instead?

It is used on the backend here: https://github.com/Vertamedia/clickhouse-grafana/blob/master/pkg/client.go#L52 but also on the frontend: https://github.com/Vertamedia/clickhouse-grafana/blob/master/src/datasource.ts#L84

@daniellee I can prepare secureJson PR with different release
is it required to merge PR?

[daniellee]

Sounds like a plan as this is not part of this change and was introduced a long time ago. Will merge this and then you can follow up with the fix.

@daniellee thanks a lot, I promise a next release will try to use secureJSON for X-Auth-Key and X-ClickHouse-User on frontend and backend part

[daniellee]

Lots of changes in this release. The new authentication changes look good. While going through the code noticed that the frontend does not handle the Yandex API key in a secure way and that will need to be fixed in the near future.
