Welcome

Anything in the log files you could share?

Since I am a newbie, where are the logs?

Found the log.
Found a permission issue on the plugins directory. Set the owner/group to grafana.
Can see the plugins getting registered in the log now.
Had to go to configuration | plugins and enable the unsigned plugin - should be documented!
Now see it in the Data Source screen.
Closing this thread.
