3 months ago This guy built this SolarWinds plugin 5 years ago and I don't think he's updated it since (EDIT: I'm wrong, it looks like he has updated it about 6 months ago to fix a problem with it. So maybe there's hope he can migrate it off of Angular!). Unfortunately, we're gonna have to either use the Infinity Data Source for SolarWinds queries, hope somebody builds a new data source plugin for SolarWinds, or build our own Data Source plugin.
They don't plan on actually blocking Angular plugins until at least Grafana 12 (which is just over a year away right now). Until then you can set the "angular_support_enabled" flag to "true" in the "security" section of your Grafana custom.ini file (that will allow angular plugins to still work) as well as set the "hide_angular_deprecation" flag in the "plugins" section of the custom.ini file to "true" (that will hide the annoying message on any dashboards that have one or more angular plugins).
I myself was able to get the development environment for data source plugins installed on my work computer, but actually developing a plugin is currently a bit over my head. Maybe one day I can find the time to sit down and give it a shot, but for now I'm either at the mercy of others or gonna have to just keep relying on the Infinity plugin...
After upgrading to Grafana 10.1.2 I am receiving a message that this plugin will no longer work in a future release after AngularJS is deprecated. Will this plugin be converted to a supported model? As well as possibly available in the Grafana plugin catalog as well to make it easier to install? I absolutely love this plugin and what it provides and I’d hate to lose the ability to use it. If I can lend a hand I’m more than happy to, I have no idea how to make custom plugins but I’m more than happy to try and learn if it means keeping this plugin around for the community.
