🔌 Plugin overview

  • Plugin name: LaunchDarkly
  • Purpose / problem solved: Brings LaunchDarkly feature flags into SquaredUp: flag state in each environment, LaunchDarkly's lifecycle status (new, active, inactive, launched), evaluation volume, the audit log of who changed what, approval requests, scheduled changes and account usage. Seeing flag changes next to other data sources makes it easier to tie a change to an incident, and the lifecycle views help with flag cleanup.
  • Primary audience (e.g. platform teams, SREs, product teams): Platform and SRE teams, plus engineering and product teams that own feature flags.
  • Authentication method(s) (e.g. OAuth, Username/Password, API Key): LaunchDarkly access token (the read-only Reader role is enough), on the Commercial, EU or Federal instance.

🖼️ Plugin screenshots

Plugin configuration

The configuration form has two fields, Instance (Commercial, EU or Federal) and Access token. See the Setup section of the plugin README.

Usage

The screenshots come from a small test account, so the flags and people in them are test data.

🧪 Test plan

I tested everything against a live LaunchDarkly account (Commercial instance, Reader token) deployed to a SquaredUp tenant.

  • Setup and import. The config validation succeeds with a Reader token. The import brings in projects, environments and flags (1, 3 and 10 in the test account), and the two correlation rules relate every environment and flag to its project (11 edges, checked with squaredup correlate-status and squaredup edges).
  • Data streams. I tested each stream with squaredup test, against two different objects for the scoped ones so the results had to differ. Flags and Flag Statuses differ between Test and Production, Flag Environments and Flag Evaluations differ between flags, and the Audit Log filters correctly by project, flag and environment. Audit log paging walks back through pages by date, which I checked with a small page size (all 18 entries across 4 pages, no duplicates or gaps).
  • Dashboards. All five dashboards render in the product with SmartViz, and each perspective picks up its variable. The screenshots above are from that run.
  • Not seen with real data yet. The account has no approval requests or scheduled changes, and no MAU or contexts until recently, so those streams are proven for the request and the empty case, with their row shape taken from the API schema.

⚠️ Known limitations

  • Flag evaluations and account usage use LaunchDarkly's beta usage API, so these streams send LD-API-Version: beta and may change without notice. Availability of usage data can depend on the LaunchDarkly plan.
  • Evaluations are per flag and per environment. The Flag dashboard charts the production and test environments that LaunchDarkly creates in every new project; other environment keys need the Environment key parameter changing.
  • Scheduled changes are also per environment and use the same parameter (default production).
  • LaunchDarkly returns at most 100 flags per request, so very large accounts (roughly 20,000 or more flags) may exceed SquaredUp's import limits.
  • The audit log returns 20 entries per request, so busy accounts need many requests for long timeframes. Filtering by project or environment only matches flag changes.
  • Approval requests and scheduled changes only expose member IDs, not names. The approvals API allows only a few requests per 10 seconds, so it's on a single tile.
  • Archived flags are not imported or shown. The plugin is read-only.

  • This PR adds a single plugin only
  • Plugin, datastream and UI naming follow SquaredUp guidelines
  • Logo added
  • One or more dashboards added
  • README added including configuration guidance

Adds a LaunchDarkly plugin so flag state, lifecycle and change history
can sit alongside other data sources. It authenticates with a
read-only access token against the commercial, EU or federal instance,
and imports projects, environments and flags. Environment and flag
keys are only unique within a project, so their object ids combine
the project key with their own key.

Data streams cover flag state per environment, LaunchDarkly's flag
lifecycle status, per-flag evaluations, the audit log, approval
requests, scheduled changes and account usage. The out-of-the-box
dashboards are an Overview, a Usage dashboard, and perspectives for
projects, environments and flags, all using SmartViz.

Evaluations and account usage call LaunchDarkly's beta usage API, so
those streams override the pinned API version header with "beta".
The audit log only returns 20 entries per page and its next-page link
is relative, which the platform cannot follow, so paging passes the
oldest entry's date as the next "before" instead. Tags are imported as
a joined "tagList" string because the graph reserves "tags" for
arrays.

Several stream files were generated by scripts and came out fully
expanded, while the hand-written ones use the compact layout the rest
of the repository uses. Reformatting them keeps the plugin consistent
for review; the JSON content is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Imported environments and flags carried their project key, but nothing
linked them to the Project object, so a project showed no
environments or flags when opened. Two correlation rules now relate
each one to its project on the existing projectKey property, so no
re-index is needed.

Flags are deliberately not related to environments: every flag exists
in every environment of its project, so the rule would add flags times
environments edges without telling the user anything specific.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
LaunchDarkly resource specifiers can carry tags after the key, such as
"flag/show-visit-counter;test-app". The audit log and approval request
scripts treated the tags as part of the key, so the flag column and
its link to the Flag object were wrong for any tagged flag.

Adds screenshots of the out-of-the-box dashboards, listed in the plugin
metadata, plus the data source configuration form for the pull
request. They were captured from a test account, so the flags, people
and the "#2" data source suffix in them are test data.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The screenshots were captured from a second test data source, so every
dashboard title read "LaunchDarkly #2". Recaptured after renaming it
so the titles match what a user sees.

- Around line 217-219: Update the three environment-scoped tiles’
dataSourceConfig environmentKey values to use the selected Environment object's
actual key instead of fixed production or test values, so projects with other
environment keys can return data.

Review comments at @plugins/LaunchDarkly/v1/docs/README.md:
- Around line 7-8: Update the LaunchDarkly setup steps to provide sign-in links
for the Commercial, EU, and Federal instances, and make the authorization step
use the current instance’s `/settings/authorization` path instead of a
Commercial-only direct link.

The Flag dashboard's evaluation and scheduled-change tiles read a fixed

token help now cover the EU and Federal instances, not just Commercial.
