Grafana Plugin SDK for Go
This SDK enables building Grafana backend plugins using Go.
Current state
This SDK is still in development. The protocol between the Grafana server and the plugin SDK is considered stable, but we might introduce breaking changes in the SDK. This means that plugins using the older SDK should work with Grafana, but might lose out on new features and capabilities that we introduce in the SDK.
Navigating the SDK
The SDK documentation can be navigated in the form of Go docs. In particular, you can find the following packages:
backend: Packagebackendprovides SDK handler interfaces and contracts for implementing and serving backend plugins. It includes multiple sub-packages.build: Packagebuildincludes standard mage targets useful when building plugins.data: Packagedataprovides data structures that Grafana recognizes. It includes multiple subpackages likeconverters,framestructandsqlutil.experimental: Packageexperimentalprovides multiple experimental features. It includes multiple sub-packages.live: Packageliveprovides types for the Grafana Live server.
See the list of all packages here.
