Dear all,
I would like to know if anyone has already used the Cassandra plugin in Grafana and if any additional specific configurations are required to fetch metrics from alerts and host information in DataMines.

I don't have any experience with the Cassandra plugins in Grafana but if your main objective is as you put it 'fetch metrics from alerts and information in Dataminer' my recommendation will be to use the Grafana Data Source plugin of Dataminer, though still in its infancy it will serve you best.
It will allow you to build, visualize your data in Dataminer and with a few additional steps visualize the same data in Grafana without needing to interact with any Database.
You did not mention the specific plugin but I came across a handful which allow you to either monitor the health of Cassandra or visualize the data stored in Cassandra.
With the latter you will need to understand CQL and mostly importantly the structure and setup of the database as you will need to write the queries yourself. Depending on the storage architecture of your Dataminer system (Cassandra only, Cassandra + ElasticSearch/Opensearch, STaaS) this becomes more complex and an unnecessary exercise.
