Waterfall panel

This panel is intended to visualize a single time series as a waterfall panel, e.g. to show dependencies between jobs running in parallel in a build pipeline, or a series of HTTP requests.

Configuration

After installation, you can add a new panel type "Waterfall Panel" to your dashboards.

Expected fields

The panel can only handle a single time series, and the time series can consist of these fields:

field typerequireddescription
timeyesstarting point
numberyesduration in seconds
stringnoname

Make sure you select the fields of the time series as a "Table"!

The time frame will be calculated automatically and creates the panel frame. Each tuple will be represented by a bar in the panel, starting at its "starting point" and taking up space relative to its "duration".

Display configuration

  • "Show inline bar labels" will show the labels inside the bars. The labels are populated from the string field.
    • "Show duration in bar labels" will show the duration in seconds inside the bars.
  • "Bar color" is for changing the color of the bars.
  • "Value Time Units" is currently hardcoded to "seconds", but will be expanded in future versions.

Development

Please refer to the development guide.

The plugin will be installed into your grafana plugins directory; the default is /var/lib/grafana/plugins. More information on the cli tool.

2. Add the Panel to a Dashboard

Installed panels are available immediately in the Dashboards section in your Grafana main menu, and can be added like any other core panel in Grafana.
