Objective:

We should revise the /plugins section to be more structured and step-by-step than it is now. The goal is to make it easier for users to understand how plugins work, how to configure them, and how to build or extend them—especially for those who are new to InfluxDB 3 or plugin-based architectures.

What the feature does and why it’s useful

• Transforms the current /plugins documentation into a more linear, guided experience
• Helps users understand the purpose, setup, and customization of plugins
• Reduces confusion and improves onboarding by clearly walking through key workflows

How to use it
Once updated, users should be able to:

• Understand what plugins are and how they fit into the system
• Follow clear, step-by-step instructions to enable, configure, and test plugins
• Extend or write their own plugins, if applicable
