Installing custom plugin about grafana-operator

[vaishakshetty30]

How would you do this for a custom grafana plugin url ?
For example: grafana-cli --pluginUrl https://github.com/bitmovin/analytics-grafana-datasource/archive/main.zip plugins install bitmovin-analytics

@weisdd similar to @vaishakshetty30, I'm wondering how to install custom plugins via the operator? - We're keen to explore the recently announced logs query explorer plugin but as it's not in the grafana plugin library (despite being signed) I'm unsure how to get it to install from the pluginUrl provided

see https://github.com/grafana-operator/grafana_plugins_init
use GRAFANA_PLUGINS to load file

@Tualua yes, it's possible. Plugins can be added to dashboards or data sources, here are some examples: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/tree/master/examples/plugins

[Tualua]

see https://github.com/grafana-operator/grafana_plugins_init use GRAFANA_PLUGINS to load file

Any example? Where should I put GRAFANA_PLUGINS ?
