Grafana user account in ‘My plugins’ has a Stats section for my plugins.
It is confusing. Downloads shows 5 times less than the real number, Installs show 10 times more than the real downloads.
The ‘real’ number i compare with is coming from the ‘downloads’ output from grafana.com/api/plugins
But this endpoint is also a weak candidate for the source of truth as it shows some random numbers for Popularity, Weight, etc. These metrics change day-to-day, and the catalog can sometimes prioritize abondoned plugins with no downloads, etc. That makes the catalog website filtering irrelevant.
I’ve experienced similar discrepancies with the API stats for my own plugins, it seems the platform’s reporting logic is fundamentally flawed or delayed.
