Allow me to introduce the DevTools plugin! 🧰 #14642
Conversation

@freben @camilaibs @Rugvip I've submitted this as a Draft PR as I think there will be a lot of back and forth on how to best implement some of the features. Also, I'm submitting this from my personal account as this is something I've been working on in my spare time |

Very Nice, wondering if this plugin can potentially be extended out to the entity/component level where you can see dependencies for a specific component via a CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials |

just from curiosity, what's the main thing holding up the PR? |
|
@adamdmharvey @sennyeya thanks for the reviews, will implement your feedback soon @webark honestly just life has been busy. Once I rebase the branch, follow up on the feedback, then I'll be able to move this to ready. I just don't want to provide a timeline that I won't be able to keep. |

ohhh.. no worries. Wasn't pushing, just curious if it was more on the development, review, or principle that was being waited on. |
|
@adamdmharvey just wanted to follow up on your comments, wish I could have done that directly under your message and quoting you is a little messy. Regarding the name, it's hard and I feel like to no matter what I use can be misinterpreted. I asked some people I know about the name and they each had some different view. With that in mind I won't be changing the name but I do think adding "Backstage" to the main title would add some clarity. For background I had a different name initially, Debug really didn't work once I had more time to think on it, I settled on DevTools based on Chrome DevTools. As far as discovery and confusion around the name: ideally this should be behind permissions and only seen by those who have access and need to use it. This is how we have ours setup internally. But I do recognize that not everyone has permissions setup or may want everyone to have access to this for various reasons. |

Closing in favour of #17393 |
Hey, I just made a Pull Request!
Allow me to introduce the DevTools plugin - another handy tool to add to your Backstage 🧰 ! This will close #9737 and hopefully open a world of new features to help Backstage Adopters who run the Ops side of things 😉
The plugin offers the following features:
Lists info about your current Backstage instance - OS, NodeJS version, Backstage version and packages:
Lists the config being used by your current Backstage instance:
There's also an optional tab where you can list connectivity with External Dependencies:
The plugin has also been designed so you can customize the tabs - remove them, add them, and/or create your own.
Support for the permissions framework is included in an open way so that you can control this as best fits your needs. There is detailed guidance in the plugin's
README.mdon this topic.✔️ Checklist
