Please use To install the plugin, refer to the [Grafana Image Renderer Installation instructions](/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer/?tab=installation#installation). +### Memory requirements + +Rendering images requires a lot of memory, mainly because Grafana creates browser instances in the background for the actual rendering. Grafana recommends a minimum of 16GB of free memory on the system rendering images. + +Rendering multiple images in parallel requires an even bigger memory footprint. You can use the remote rendering service in order to render images on a remote system, so your local system resources are not affected. + ## Configuration The Grafana Image Renderer plugin has a number of configuration options that are used in plugin or remote rendering modes.
