Panel plugin with id michaeldmoore-multistat-panel could not be found

Grafana Installation
1

Hello,
I’m using Grafana 6.0.0 in a docker container. During the build process I installed the michealdmoore-multistat-panel plugin by unpacking the zip file into the plugin folder. This step is necessary because there is no internet access from the docker container.

The plugin is found installed by the command “grafana-cli plugins ls”. I also see the plugin in Grafana’s Home Dashboard under Installed Panels. If I click on it, I get the readme of the panel displayed.

But a created multistat panel shows me the error message “Panel plugin with id michaeldmoore-multistat-panel could not be found”.

What did I possibly do wrong during installation? What else would I have to do?

best regards
Matthias

Hi,

I don’t have an answer but would really appreciate any feedback as I’m running into the same issue (although, using a different plugin).

In order to reproduce this,

wget https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/grafana-releases/master/grafana-latest.linux-x64.tar.gz
tar xzf grafana-latest.linux-x64.tar.gz
cd grafana-6.1.0-11e85b5fpre/
bin/grafana-cli --pluginsDir data/plugins plugins install mtanda-histogram-panel
bin/grafana-server

Then, via http://:3000 (admin:admin), I can see the plugin and info about it. When I go to “create a new dashboard”, I can add any panel except for the “Histogram” plugin, which shows (red background, white text) “Panel plugin with id mtanda-histogram-panel could not be found”.

Output from “bin/grafana-server”:

Same problem here. I’m trying to create my own plugin and this error keeps popping up even though everything compiles and everything seems to be where it’s supposed to be. It’s incredibly frustrating. Can you atleast give us a more detailed error description?

Hi there!

Any answer to this question, I am facing similar problem with Plotly plugin:

Panel plugin with id natel-plotly-panel could not be found

But as other here mentioned, I can also see the plugin and read its documentation from my dashboard homepage.
