grafana auto-update oncall plugins #2688

What went wrong?

What happened:

Very often, after updating the plugin in grafana 9.3.6, the grafana-oncall plugin is not displayed or partially displayed After updating the engine, everything is usually restored This is not convenient, for example, if there is a day off or there are no engineers. Tell me how you can avoid this? Or how can I disable auto-update of plugins in grafana?

How do we reproduce it?

Grafana-oncall plugin updated Plugin not showing in browser I update grafana oncall engine - everything works

Grafana OnCall Version

plugin 1.3.19 - engine 1.3.15

Product Area

Helm

Grafana OnCall Platform?

Grafana-oncall engine 1.3.15

User's Browser?

Version 114.0.5735.133 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This caught me out as well. It appears to be more of a Grafana issue than Grafana Oncall as the default behaviour for updating plugins is to use latest.

Assuming you are using Helm to install Grafana, You can pin the plugin version (described here). It works by using extraInitContainers to use the grafana-cli to specify a specific plugin version to install.

I also wrote about this in grafana community, if anyone is interested https://community.grafana.com/t/grafana-plugins-auto-update/100125

In Helm values.yml you can specify the full url for a plugin with exact version:

plugins:
  - https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-oncall-app/versions/v1.3.8/download;grafana-oncall-app

In my case, grafana-oncall is synchronized from a other grafana that is installed in docker Can I somehow hardcode the plugin version, but not the engine?

frankja2 commented 10 months ago

how to achieve the same "no update" of oncall plugin for docker container?

schechev-a commented 10 months ago

I set in the env file for the grafana: GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-oncall-app 1.3.21 It's work for me
