# Protobuf
When upgrading the [protobuf](http://github.com/golang/protobuf) library in Grafana and the plugin SDK,
you typically also want to upgrade your protobuf compiler toolchain and re-compile protobuf files:
```
cd $GRAFANA
make protobuf
cd $GRAFANA_PLUGIN_SDK_GO
mage protobuf
```
After upgrading the protobuf dependency in Grafana and the plugin SDK, it might be wise to test that things still work,
before making corresponding PRs:
* Test a plugin built with upgraded SDK on upgraded Grafana
* Test a plugin built with non-upgraded SDK on upgraded Grafana
* Test a plugin built with upgraded SDK on non-upgraded Grafana
