Kiali Backend plugin for Backstage

This is the backend part of the Kiali plugin for Backstage. It is called by and responds to requests from the frontend @janus-idp/backstage-plugin-kiali plugin.

It directly interfaces with the Kiali API control plane to obtain information about objects that will then be presented at the front end.

Setup & Configuration

This plugin must be explicitly added to a Backstage app, along with it's peer frontend plugin.

The plugin requires configuration in the Backstage app-config.yaml to connect to a Kiali API control plane.

In addition, configuration of an entity's catalog-info.yaml helps identify which specific ServiceMesh object(s) should be presented on a specific entity catalog page.
