If you are, how do you have things set up?
My DBAs are wanting to implement Grafana (for SWIS querying) but our DPA server doesn't talk to our Orion server. Can the DPA server handle the REST calls without needing the Orion server as the middleman?

Yes, go to Options -> Management API Options for a list of features/data you can consume data from using gets. If it's not exposed via an API, there is the potential to query directly against the DPA repository.
