### Backend plugins
Grafana now requires backend plugins to be signed. If a backend plugin is not signed Grafana will not load/start it. This is an additional security measure to make sure backend plugin binaries and files haven't been tampered with.

It's possible to allow unsigned plugins using a configuration setting, but is something we strongly advise against doing. For more information about this setting, refer to [allow loading unsigned plugins]({{< relref "../administration/#allow-loading-unsigned-plugins" >}}).

For example, if you want an alert to be `INFO`-level in VictorOps, create a tag `severity=info` (case-insensitive) in your alert.
