Hi all, really pumped to test out the new server/UI, and I was wondering if there is a way currently, or plans in the future to add new pages/plugins like airflow has to the UI, or if I would need to fork the repo and maintain my own version?

Hi @Henry Cohen! What sort of pages were you thinking?

Mostly custom task/flow tracking, config management, nice forms for triggering flow runs with parameters and such
We currently have a bunch of tools in airflow for our less technical users so they can interact with our tasks and DAGs with some guard rails and simplifications

Check out the
RUN
tab on any flow page for per-run parameter and config management! Otherwise I'm curious what sort of custom task/flow tracking you're thinking of?

It’s mostly making things easier on our analysts, but I’ll be sure to spin everything up and get a POC going, might not need it

@Henry Cohen just fyi there is a very deep graphql schema exposed, you could probably provide what you need via something that queries that

Yeah, I saw that, and it’s pretty awesome, I was just wondering if there was a way to park a custom UI page to display the results that we can run on the prefect server, that way everything is in a central location @Preston Marshall

Prolly not, you'd need a SPA (I guess you could do backend rendering as well) with a JWT token
