Unsigned Plugins Made Simple

To allow unsigned plugins in Grafana, just add a comma-separated list of plugin identifiers to load them without signatures. Here’s how to configure it for Docker or a host installation.

Docker Configuration​

Update the environment variable in your Docker container like this:

GF_PLUGINS_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS=PLUGIN-ID

Replace PLUGIN-ID with your plugin identifiers (e.g., my-plugin, another-plugin).

Host Installation​

For a host setup, edit the grafana.ini file with:

allow_loading_unsigned_plugins=PLUGIN-ID

Swap PLUGIN-ID with the identifiers of your unsigned plugins.

Manifest File Tweaks​

Signed plugins use a MANIFEST.txt file to store checksums. Delete it if you need to:

  • Modify plugin.json or other plugin files.
  • Use a plugin signed for a URL that doesn’t match your Grafana instance.
