Does the new plugin architecture allow me to provision plugins from a config file on startup? Like installing the Kubernetes App without `grafana-cli plugins install kubernetes-app`

You can provision plugins on startup with something like: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/docker/...

Thank you for this amazing, helpful project!

Are there plans for letting power-users style their own custom panels using html, css and js using just the web interface? Meaning without having to develop a plugin.

Do you know if performance has improved for large dashboards?

Hi Torkel,

First off, Grafana is amazing! So keep up the good work.

Question: Currently alerts are fairly limited both in applicable panels and how they export/share relevant data to the chosen notification channel, as well as more advanced conditions. Is there any work going on with improving alerts?

since when? :)

A few things have been added that may help: 1. only visible data is queried and loaded 2. If you have multiple panels that use the same data, you can now just reuse the results (or a subset of the results) in a new panel. This will cut down on additional queries that may not be necessary

This has been possible for ages. The built-in text panel has an HTML option (though you have to disable this setting to allow script tags: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/configu...)

There are some external plugins that offer more advanced support:

There are a few plugins that let you enter css/html/js directly -- see https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/ryantxu-ajax-panel https://github.com/srclosson/grafana-div-panel and the text panel (if the server is configured with disable_sanitize_html = true)

this is powerful, but long term tends to lead to a maintenance nightmare
