Just switched from sysadmin to DevOps and learning the monitoring stack. Built my first Grafana dashboard yesterday (attached) but ran into a plugin nightmare.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, Grafana 10.2. My plugin list:
- grafana-piechart-panel
- grafana-clock-panel
- marcusolsson-json-datasource
- vertamedia-clickhouse-datasource
Tried to add an AI-assisted query plugin (`grafana-llm-app`). The install made my whole Grafana instance super slow on startup. Had to disable the ClickHouse datasource and the clock panel just to get it to load. Error logs showed memory spikes.
Is this normal? If a tool needs me to gut my working setup, feels like a design problem. Has anyone found a stable combo with AI/ML plugins?
Here's the error snippet I kept seeing:
```
t=2024-05-15T08:30:21 plugin-loader error="failed to start plugin: context deadline exceeded"
```
