Configure panel options
There are settings common to all visualizations, which you set in the Panel options section of the panel editor pane. The following sections describe these options as well as how to set them.
Panel options
Set the following options to provide basic information about a panel and define basic display elements:
You can use generative AI to populate the Title and Description fields with the Grafana LLM plugin, which is currently in public preview. To enable this, refer to Set up generative AI features for dashboards.
Configure repeating panels
You can configure Grafana to dynamically add panels or rows to a dashboard. A dynamic panel is a panel that the system creates based on the value of a variable. Variables dynamically change your queries across all panels in a dashboard. For more information about repeating rows, refer to Configure repeating rows.
To see an example of repeating panels, refer to this dashboard with repeating panels.
Before you begin:
- Ensure that the query includes a multi-value variable.
To configure repeating panels, follow these steps:
Navigate to the panel you want to update.
Hover over any part of the panel to display the menu on the top right corner.
Click the menu and select Edit.
Open the Panel options section of the panel editor pane.
Under Repeat options, select a variable in the Repeat by variable drop-down list.
Under Repeat direction, choose one of the following:
- Horizontal - Arrange panels side-by-side. Grafana adjusts the width of a repeated panel. You can’t mix other panels on a row with a repeated panel.
- Vertical - Arrange panels in a column. The width of repeated panels is the same as the original, repeated panel.
If you selected Horizontal in the previous step, select a value in the Max per row drop-down list to control the maximum number of panels that can be in a row.
Click Save dashboard.
Click Back to dashboard and then Exit edit.
To propagate changes to all panels, reload the dashboard.
You can stop a panel from repeating by selecting Disable repeating in the Repeat by variable drop-down list.
