Hello, are there are any guides for creating a plugin for Dashboards? I’m looking for something similar to this: [My First Steps in OpenSearch Plugins · OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org/blog/technical-posts/2021/06/my-first-steps-in-opensearch-plugins/) Thanks. ---

Hey @chrisb - no, I don’t think any such guide exists but it’s a good idea. You can throw an issue on `project-website` and request it! > **[GitHub - opensearch-project/project-website: The source to opensearch.org](https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-website)** > > The source to opensearch.org. Contribute to opensearch-project/project-website development by creating an account on GitHub. ---

@chrisb, yes I agree! I created an issue a little bit ago [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website/issues/171). But perhaps a blog post can be done for Dashboards.
