[BUG] Plugin Unavailable

[daya-kulkarni]

Describe the bug I am trying to use the backend plugin on version 9.3.4 and 9.4.2. In both cases I am getting an error that says that plugin in availble when i try to create and save the new datasource. I have installed the plugin two ways one one grafana version i have installed the folder way (manually) in the plugins dir and the other version via the grafana-cli command. Both show the datasource as an option but dont let me actually use it as I see the error below (in screenshot).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Setting
2. Click on datasources
3. Click on add new datasource button
4. Search/filter for Kafka and click on datasource
5. Add server (broker --> localhost:9092)
6. Click save and test
7. See error

Expected behavior We should see the plugin be available and say datasouce added (green message)

Screenshots Desktop Information:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Browser: chrome
• Plugin Version: 0.2.0
• Grafana Version: 9.4.2 && 9.3.4

Addtional Context Do I need certain permissions that the server runs at?

I use Grafana that version is 9.4.3,the same error also appears,that sucks!

This is also happening when running grafana from a docker image. Any clue about what the root cause might be?

[jessechencx]

Anyone have resolved the problem?

I found out what the issue is. At least in my case. It looks like the Grafana docker image is built for arm64 (I am running it on an Apple Silicon chip) but the plugin is only amd64, which means that it will fail badly.

One workaround is to force the Grafana instance to run with the amd64 image. It will be slower but it will work.

My compose file looks like the following:

version: '2'
services:
  grafana:
    image: 'grafana/grafana-oss:latest'
    ports:
      - '3000:3000'
    environment:
      - GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=hamedkarbasi93-kafka-datasource
    platform: 'linux/amd64'

I think it cause of this

lvl=eror msg="Failed to start plugin" logger=plugins.backend pluginId=hamedkarbasi93-kafka-datasource error="fork/exec /var/lib/grafana/plugins/hamedkarbasi93-kafka-datasource/gpx_kafka-datasource_linux_arm64: no such file or directory"

but in my plugins dir it was gpx_kafka-datasource_linux_amd64

it need arm64 cause of running on apple silicon but this plugin didn`t available on arm64 just amd64 so we have to change our docker platform like @tanis2000 's saying (on my above) and it was good solutions

same error，any clues to fix it ?

I tried to force the platform as stated but the problem still persists. I also tried installing both versions OSS and Enterprise on my local machine to verify that it wasn't somenthing from docker, but always the same problem.

I ran the arch command and got x86_64, but I still can't use the plugins.

Hi

It looks like this project is not being maintaned any more. I was looking at putting some time into fixing the bugs and adding some more features. Would anyone support this by helping with testing ?
