Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

2.0.0 (2026-03-15)

Features:

• Batch topXdata queries to reduce API calls and improve dashboard load time
• New OSI Health dashboard with per-layer network panels and alias patterns
• New Site & Device Overview dashboard with heatmap, status history, and bar chart panels
• "Open in Kentik" panel links for direct portal navigation
• Support for custom/on-prem portal URL derivation from region config

Improvements:

• Client-side Kentik portal URL eliminates separate /query/url API calls
• Dynamic query depth scales with topx setting for faster server processing
• Null safety in batch response handling
• Home dashboard modernized (schemaVersion 39, replaced broken custom panel with standard text panel)
• Dashboards now included in plugin zip for provisioning support
• Updated create-plugin tooling from 6.1.3 → 7.0.8
• All ESLint errors resolved (24 → 0)
• Provisioning README with full reviewer setup guide

CI/CD:

• Fixed duplicate env: block and stale working-directory refs in release workflow
• Added Playwright E2E test job with Grafana version matrix to CI
• Plugin validator runs in CI on every PR

Cleanup:

• Removed dead code: DescriptionPanel, unused SCSS styles, stale .eslintrc
• Fixed .prettierrc.js reference to removed @grafana/toolkit
• Updated documentation link in plugin.json
• Fixed .gitignore to track E2E test files

Breaking changes:

• Minimum Grafana version: 11.6.0
• Plugin type changed from app to datasource; plugin ID changed from kentik-connect-app to kentik-connect-datasource (required by Grafana's validator — datasource plugins must use the -datasource suffix). Both plugins can run side-by-side; existing kentik-connect-app v1.7.0 dashboards remain functional while you migrate at your own pace. See v2.0.0 release notes for migration steps.
