| Create Plugin |
Tooling for modern web development can be tricky to wrap your head around. While you certainly can write your own webpack configuration, for this guide, you'll be using grafana create-plugin tool
Grafana create-plugin tool is a CLI application that simplifies Grafana plugin development, so that you can focus on code. The tool scaffolds a starter plugin and all the required configuration for you.
-
In the plugin directory, create a plugin from template using create-plugin. When prompted for the kind of plugin, select
datasource:npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest -
Change directory to your newly created plugin:
cd my-plugin -
Install the dependencies:
yarn install -
Build the plugin:
yarn dev -
Restart the Grafana server for Grafana to discover your plugin.
-
Open Grafana and go to Connections -> Connect Data. Make sure that your data source is there.
By default, Grafana logs whenever it discovers a plugin:
INFO[01-01|12:00:00] Plugin registered logger=plugin.loader pluginID=my-plugin
