Longterm sustainability of grafana-zabbix

[nghgc]

Describe the bug I am terribly sorry to ask this, but in light of the current invasion of Ukraine and the author of this project being in Russia, can I kindly ask how sustainable this project is going to be going forward?

I see no activity since the 24th of Feb and the fact that there is now a tremendous about of sanctions imposed on Russia by many tech giants, I am left feeling sad and worried that development is going to cease or has ceased.

I am pretty sure the grafana team will not let this project go to stale due to its usage. If something did happen they or someone else would possibly take it over. If grafana themselves did that, the only issue is it may no longer be free.

Hi,

I also noticed there was no update since a while but I don't think it has something to do with Ukraine-Russia. I just hope Alexander is safe & healthy to continue supporting this project.

Hi! There wasn't any activity past 2 months since I was on parental leave (We've got a baby 👶 ). So now I'm back and continue support of the project. I have a plan to transfer ownership to the Grafana Labs in order to make the future of the plugin more safe, because now the bus factor is 1 (only me is maintaining project) :). So don't worry to much, Grafana will continue maintaining project if I cannot do it by any reason, but now I'm do not have any plans to give it up. I have some troubles with tools I'm using here because of sanctions (CircleCI blocked my account, for instance), but looks like GitHub is not going to be crazy and block all developers from Russia. Situation is going to be harder and harder every day, but I'm trying to do my best and reduce risks. I'm making paperwork for relocation, but it's so tricky to anticipate anything right now. Hope everything will be ok.

Congratulations! 😊 (and fingers crossed for the rest)
