How can I adjust the default Metrics datasource to a timeout \> 30 seconds. It seems like I can not save it in grafana and didnt want to change all the needed panels to the higher timeout…

@David_Clark to be clear the default Metrics Datasource as seen below I can not modify  
It seems that the default Metrics data source can not be modified… or is somehow protected from any modified

But I can duplicate it and save it

This is not dealing with alerts in any form or fashion… Nor a grafana issue
