Grafana Dashboards in Backstage

[LutzLange]

It would be nice if we could include Grafana Dashboards in Backstage.

I found a grafana plugin for backstage another version with some documentation can be found here

Could we make that work? What would this look like?

Cluster and Application health and metrics would be benificial to have in Backstage.

The one Grafana plugin i see now is here: https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/tree/main/workspaces/grafana/plugins/grafana

Based on the README note at the bottom, it took over the code from @k-phoen/backstage-plugin-grafana. So https://github.com/K-Phoen/backstage-plugin-grafana is obsolete.

One major downside of the plugin is that it only allows a single Grafana endpoint to connect with. We have it set up in the dev portal and connect it to our Grafana Cloud endpoint. At the same time we would love to also have it connected with all management cluster Grafanas, but that's currently not possible.

So if you want to unlock a great range of possibilities, multiple endpoints is what we need.

We have a separate issue for grafana backstage integration. Closing this one.
