Grafana-Zabbix plugin is still not working after the unsigned plugin config change.

The plugin is not loading / working correctly My working grafana / zabbix versions are : Zabbix 4.4.4 / Grafana 6.4 / Zabbix-Grafana plugin 3.4

After the complete upgrade to Zabbix v5. / Grafana 7.1.5 / Zabbix-Grafana to 4.0.0 version , the working dashboards are not displaying the correct values. Some dashboard have lost their normal aspect. I see some anormal log lines in grafana log.

But it didnt changed the situation.

Software versions

Grafana	Zabbix	Grafana-Zabbix Plugin
7.1.5	5.0.3	4.0.0

[corgan2222]

fixed it by adding

[plugins]
enable_alpha = true #you probely dont need this
allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = alexanderzobnin-zabbix-datasource

to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

is this normal to do so?

[plugins]

to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

This worked fine for me today - Grafana 7.2.2 Zabbix plugin 4.0.1

Yes, but be sure to remove it when you upgrade to grafana 7.3 as it should be working as https://github.com/alexanderzobnin/grafana-zabbix/issues/1035#issuecomment-715248524 says.
