I would like to install the alertmanager datasource (https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/camptocamp-prometheus-alertmanager-datasource/) to my kube-prometheus-stack installation which is being built using terraform and the helm provider. I cannot work out how to get the plugin files to the node running grafana though.
Using a modified values.yaml and feeding to helm with -f values.yaml (please ignore values):
additionalDataSources:
- name: Alertmanager
editable: false
type: camptocamp-prometheus-alertmanager-datasource
url: http://localhost:9093
version: 1
access: default
# optionally
basicAuth: false
basicAuthUser:
basicAuthPassword:
I can see the datasource in grafana but the plugin files do not exist.
Alertmanager visible in list of datasources
However, clicking on the datasource I see
Plugin not found, no installed plugin with that ID
Please note that the grafana pod seems to require a restart to pick up datasource changes as well which I would consider needs fixing at a higher level.
It's actually quite simple to get the files there and I cannot believe I overlooked the simplistic solution. Posting this here in the hope others find it useful.
In the kube-prometheus-stack, values.yaml file, just override the grafana section as follows:
grafana:

plugins:
- camptocamp-prometheus-alertmanager-datasource
- grafana-googlesheets-datasource
