Grafana version: 11.5.0
We are trying to add a custom chatbot to the Grafana UI to assist users with LogQL queries. I created an npm package and included it in the package.json of the official Grafana UI source code. The chatbot works as an overlay and is available on all pages.
We tried using a panel and app plugin, but:
- As a panel plugin, it’s restricted to specific dashboards.
- As an app plugin, it appears in the Nav Menu and disappears when navigating to other pages.
To improve the UX, I modified the source code to include the chatbot in AppWrapper.tsx. This solution works, but I want to ensure it’s the right approach. Please suggest if there any better alternatives.
