### Known issues
* **grafana-cli**: The argument `--pluginsDir` is not working.
* **docker**: Due to above problem with grafana-cli the docker run will fail to start the container if you're installing plugins using the `GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS` environment variable. We have removed 6.2.3 tag from docker hub and latest tag now points to 6.2.2.
