Up until now, we've been exclusively using graph panels that are available on Grafana out of the box. We're going to mix things up a little by bringing in a new plugin panel and visualizing a new dataset.
There are two mechanisms for installing a new plugin—the grafana-cli command-line tool and an environment variable setting in the Grafana configuration. Because we can easily do it in Docker Compose at the same time as we launch the service, we're going to opt for the second method. All that is required is to set the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS environment variable to the list of desired plugins in our docker-compose.yml file and restart Grafana.
In order to visualize the location of earthquakes around the world, we'll need to install a Worldmap plugin panel.
