I just started with grafana and would like to try to develop my own plugin to use it beside Graph, Singlestat, Dashlist, and Text panels. I found only these links about that :
http://docs.grafana.org/plugins/panels/,
https://grafana.net/resources/getting-started-with-plugins
Is anybody have ideas which environment could be used for developing grafana plugin and from where possible to start?
Thank you
There is a detailed walkthrough of the creation of the Clock panel plugin available on the grafana blog: Part 1 & Part 2
That's definitely a good place to start. As far an an environment, you'll obviously need a grafana instance, and you'll also need node & npm to be able to run the grunt-based build process.
Part 1 of the walkthrough should have enough detail to get you started, there is also a pretty active community on the grafana irc and slack channels who can help with specific questions.

Can someone please advice me on the best way to continuously deploy PHP code from github to GCP Compute Engine? Specifically to GCP Marketplace LAMP Stack, which is the Google Click to Deploy VM? Here is the link to the market place
Your advice is greatly appreciated!
Click to Deploy (C2D) is an excellent way to test drive solutions but I'm (admittedly somewhat naive but) skeptical that it's a good approach to combine C2D with customization.
That said, the C2D solutions are published and you could, with some work, customize the solution as the basis for your own solution.
In other words, I'd recommend not combining the C2D as-is but to customize the tools that it uses (!) for your needs.
The README explains how the LAMP VM is built (Cloud Build, packer, chef).
Without wishing to in any way impugn your approach, please consider alternative ways to deploy PHP to Google Cloud Platform. Running Apache and MySQL on a VM may be entirely appropriate for your needs but you will need to maintain the OS, Apache, MySQL etc.
If you're goal is to deploy a PHP (web) app that needs a MySQL-compliant database and you want to be more "cloud native", you could consider using:
App Engine or Cloud Run to host your PHP app (see link)
Cloud SQL for the database (see link)
The above would require more initial work but, if you want more flexibility, resilience and less "chore", I think you'd benefit from the investment.
In addition opening up the app like this would facilitate leveraging Cloud Monitoring, Logging, Debugger etc
I am beginner in plugin development. i didn't get enough idea about plugin development from grafana tutorials,can u please give me a simple explanation about plugin development? from where we want to start ? how can pass live values ?
There's a documentation in grafana on how to build panels. You will need to have a knowledge in Typescript/React.
You may have to sign your custom plugin in the grafana configuration file. Refer here and register also where are your plugins located.
You can try checking sample projects here
There's lots of documentation and a kludgy console to set up continuous deployment in Cloud Foundry, but I haven't found any documentation on what the artifacts inside a repository need to be.
I don't want to cut-n-paste flows from the node red editor. If that's the only way, then IBM is not ready for prime time. I also am aware of most everything about my flows being in the Cloudant nodered db.
A node red application is more than the flows though. What about my _design docs for my dbs?
I need device info and other stuff from the Watson console, Cloudant info and my flows packaged up into something deployable.
Has anyone scripted this?
What I mean by this is I can clone a Docker project, an npm project and all sorts of projects that implement a build->test->push mechanism. They employ a configuration script of some sort (e.g. package.json) and contain a bunch of source files for the actual application, test scripts, db scripts, whatever is necessary to deploy the application and its environment into a host. I see lots of documentation on the toolchain and its features, but I'm not clear on if it's possible to make use of it for my hosted node red application. Or if I have to write the scripting mechanisms to offload flow info from the nodered db and query all my other dbs for their respective _design docs and all the other configuration information required to set up an IoT node red application.
I forgot to mention, the copy/paste method loses information; you get no tab level metadata. The only way to get all the flow stuff is to pull if from the nodered flow record.
Node-RED will release a new version in a couple of days that will introduce projects, so you'll be able to use GitHub and all the usual tools to handle your app: https://twitter.com/NodeRED/status/956934949784956931 and https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/
While it doesn't address your short-term needs, I think it's the best long-term solution. Hopefully that helps.
I was going through a Kubernetes tutorial on Youtube and found the following UI which demonstrates pod and service arrangements of Kubernetes cluster.How can I install this UI in my Kubernetes setup?
In order to use this UI, go to the saturnism/gcp-live-k8s-visualizer GitHub repo and follow the steps, there.
The code for that UI is from https://github.com/brendandburns/gcp-live-k8s-visualizer.
the visualizer expects some specific tags to be on the pods / services for them to be displayed. It was built for a demo and I don't think it was generalized to work on arbitrary deployments
As Robert Bailey pointed out, the versions of brendendburns and saturnism are not generealized scripts, but require little modifications on your resource labels (such as labeling things with "name" or "uses").
Maybe this version can help you:
https://github.com/0ortmann/k8s-visualizer
It features minimalistic configuration options. You can configure labels you want the script to use. You do not need to change your actual setup.
Please contact me if you run into issues.
I am following the following blog to configure my golang environment (OS-X machine):
http://webapp.org.ua/dev/intellij-idea-and-go-plugin/
But, whenever I try to add go sdk (installed at /usr/local/go), it appear blank selection for the SDK.
Please suggest me, if I am missing something.
This page lists the SDKs which have already been configured in IntelliJ IDEA. You need to press the "Configure..." button and point the plugin to your SDK installation. Once you do this, it will become available in the SDK list for new project creation.
I would suggest to use the following for writing golang application:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-nuts/tuGS99f-kqk/Tl5KqNG0js0J
https://github.com/visualfc/liteide
If you want to use IDEA with golang, we've made a lot of progress in the past months. Please install the latest release from github releases and give it a try.
As the name suggests, there are a few issues here and there but it should work much better that the current release of the plugin.
You'll find it a class over the other offerings for writing go apps ;) (disclaimer I'm one of the contributors to the plugin, I'm very biased)
