Hello,

I got custom plugins from a grafana server.  
I would like to import them into my grafana.

I copied to the folder to /usr/share/grafana/public/app/plugins/panel/MyPlugin

I restart the grafana service, so i can see the the plugins installed in the list, but i can’t use it:

Now, it got this message:  
MyPlugin Panel Plugin This plugin is not published to [Grafana Plugins - extend and customize your Grafana](http://grafana.com/plugins) and can’t be managed via the catalog.

Is a way exist to validate a imported/copied plugin?

in grafana.ini, i see this line:

Enter a comma-separated list of plugin identifiers to identify plugins to load even if they are unsigned. Plugins with modified signatures are never loaded.  
allow\_loading\_unsigned\_plugins = MyPlugin

but without success

Many thanks for help

Hi.

It is probably that your plugin id is not “MyPlugin” that is probably the name. Make sure you use the full plugin id as defined in the plugin.json file.
