Editing add-on settings code during installation

Setting the password to integrate with Grafana

When installing an add-on with default parameters, integration with Grafana will be unavailable.

To allow the integration, specify the admin Grafana user's password during the add-on installation. To do this, change the value of the field in the add-on settings code:

external_services:  grafana:    auth:      password: "<password for the admin Grafana user>"

Once done with editing the add-on code, continue with the installation process.
