Hi I need to add a custom HTML banner/footer to all Grafana pages and I was wondering what is the best/simplest way of achieving this? I am running Grafana Enterprise 10.4 in Openshift. On other projects I have traditionally done this using Istio, however this customer does not use Istio and so I was wondering if this is possible via a custom plugin? Thanks!
Hi @mitchmurphy plugins don’t offer this specific capability directly
You can maybe try with a pre-loaded app plugin that executes a custom javascript that injects these banners inside the grafana body. Similar to how user-scripts browser extensions work.
here’s is why this is a bad idea:
- You’ll be injecting random dom elements inside the components that Grafana renders via react and they will (most likely) be overwritten/removed at any time without any notice.
- Grafana updates often change the name of ids/classes/roles/test-ids and if you update your Grafana version is very likely your custom code won’t work
- Depending on how you implement this (specially to make sure it is always visible) this might create a strange “jump” when you load the page and until the custom plugin code runs.
