Objective: I want to use the Button Control Panel plugin to be able to do database actions on click.
Executed action
Downloaded plugin zip
Installed it in the folder defined in the .ini file
Restarted Grafana
Looked into plugin list
Added a new panel to a dashboard
Tried to change panel type to button
Expected behavior
3. Plugin is loaded (log line)
4. Plugin appears in plugin list
5. New panel appears
6. All panel types appear including new plugin button
Observed behavior
1 to 5: as expected
5: The Button pluging is classified as plugin and signed
6: Only standard panel types appear. When filtering to button, lists gets empty
Update: After adding a further plugin, I can see the button plugin, but not the latest one
Just installed the multistat plugin in order to test if it behaves identical.
Observed:
Now the former( button) plugin it available. The new one (multistat) is shown in the plugin list, but not as a visualization option for a panel.
Have you been able to implement and use the button plugin?
I want to create a panel with an option for a user to enter a value and press the button to send the entered value to a device. can someone help with this
theoretically yes it should, you will have to play around with it and read the documentation. there are other plugins that allow you to create buttons etc using javascript and html
