Grafana plugin activation

Question

Is there any way to enable a grafana plugin within its configuration files?

I am using grafana v5 or v4

It looks like you have to login and then click then enable button

Answer 1

I found a workaround for my problem running docker with a volume that would map the default sqlite db for grafana in /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db this would keep any configuration, dashboard, datasource firstly set up in the web interface

Answer 2

You can use the Zabbix Plugin for Grafana.

You need to install and enable the plugin, then configure the Zabbix datasource:

• URL: http://yourserver/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php
• access: proxy or direct, depends on the reachability of Zabbix and grafana servers
• username: use a dedicated one, with the required read permissions

And you're ready to create dashboards by referencing groups, applications, hosts and items.

Here you can find the getting starded guide, it's quite complete. The regexp & templating features are really powerful, I advise to read it carefully.
