Managing SmartObserve Dashboards plugins

SmartObserve Dashboards provides a command line tool called smartobserve-dashboards-plugin for managing plugins. This tool allows you to:

  • List installed plugins.
  • Install plugins.
  • Remove an installed plugin.

Then remove all associated entries from smartobserve_dashboards.yml and restart SmartObserve Dashboards.

Updating plugins

SmartObserve Dashboards doesn’t update plugins. Instead, you must remove the old version, reinstall the plugin, and restart SmartObserve Dashboards.

Plugin dependencies

Some plugins extend functionality of other plugins. If a plugin has a dependency on another plugin, you must install the required dependency before installing the dependent plugin. For plugin dependencies, see the manifest file. In this file, each plugin’s dependencies are listed in the depends_on parameter.
