Does Plugin Management support the community Infinity plugin, yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource

Hello Janhavi Surange

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A platform.

The community Infinity data source (yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource) can only be used if it appears in the Plugin management list of your Azure Managed Grafana workspace, and Azure Managed Grafana does not allow installing arbitrary community plugins.

• Plugin installation and removal in Azure Managed Grafana is done only from the Azure Managed Grafana workspace in the Azure portal → Plugin management. It is not available from the Grafana UI or the Azure CLI at this stage.
• The Plugin management page shows only the optional plugins Microsoft exposes (core plugins included in your pricing plan aren't listed there). If a plugin ID isn't in that table, there is no supported way to add it.
• Microsoft also notes that third-party plugins have their own release, security, testing and update processes outside Microsoft's control, and customers must evaluate them before use.

So the deciding factor is simply: open Azure portal → your Managed Grafana instance → Plugin management and look for the plugin ID yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource. If it isn't listed there, it's not supported/installable on your instance.

Reference:

• How to manage plugins in Azure Managed Grafana
• Infinity data source plugin (Grafana Labs) — useful context: the plugin is now maintained by Grafana Labs and requires Grafana ≥ 11.6.0. [grafana.com]

If your goal is to query REST/JSON APIs (which is what Infinity is typically used for), point them to the Azure API examples for Infinity the same Azure Management API data (subscriptions, resources, cost data) can be reached natively via the built-in Azure Monitor / Azure Resource Graph data sources in Managed Grafana, or by self-hosting Grafana (e.g., on AKS or App Service) where any community plugin can be installed.

Thanks,

Suchitra.
