@kris Thats a good primer for OpenSearch plugins. @vvvprabhakar is looking for resources on Dashboards.

You can take a look at this blog post i wrote a while ago: [Introduction to OpenSearch Dashboard Plugins · OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org/blog/dashboards-plugins-intro/)

It also has steps on how to create a plugin and how to build it and run it. The example plugins in the repo are also a good source of information about how to build plugins.
