Breadcrumb Panel Plugin for Grafana

This is a panel plugin for Grafana. It keeps track of dashboards you have visited within one session and displays them as a breadcrumb. Each dashboard is added only once to the breadcrumb. You can navigate back to some dashboard in breadcrumb by clicking the dashboard name link text. When navigation back all items coming after the selected dashboard will be removed from the breadcrumb. Note that breadcrumb can track only dashboards that have breadcrumb panel on them.

To understand what is a plugin, read the Grafana's documentation about plugins.
