Add a repository list panel to a dashboard

In this milestone, you add a panel to your existing dashboard that displays GitHub repositories for an organization. This visualization helps you monitor repository details, including owner, URL, and forks.

  1. Open your existing dashboard. Click Add in the top-right toolbar and select Visualization. If you don’t see an Add button, click Edit to enter edit mode first, then click Add > Visualization.

  2. Click the data source dropdown and select your GitHub data source from the list. If you have multiple data sources, look for the one named after your GitHub connection.

  3. If you see a New query editor banner with a Back to classic button, click Back to classic. The GitHub data source requires the classic query editor to show the Query Type dropdown.

  4. In the query editor at the bottom of the screen, find the Query Type dropdown and choose Repositories.

  5. Enter your GitHub organization name in the Owner field. For example, grafana.

  6. Enter your repository name in the Repository field. For example, grafana.

  7. In the Time Field dropdown, select Created At.

  8. Select Table as the visualization type.

  9. In the Panel options on the right, enter a title for your panel in the Title field. For example, GitHub Complete Repository Overview.

  10. Click the time picker and select an appropriate range, for example Last 30 days.

  11. Click Save dashboard. In the dialog that appears, click Save.

Your dashboard now includes three panels: issues, pull requests, and a repository overview. You can monitor forks, creation date, and owner details across your organization.
