Chord Panel Plugin

This is a panel plugin for generating Chord diagrams in Grafana 8.3+. This plugin uses a locally included version of d3.

Screenshot

Data

This plugin uses non time series data and requires each row to have 2 data fields and a metric or value field.

NOTE: If the panel is blank even though your data input is correct, it may be too small. Try resizing the panel until it is large enough to display the chord diagram.

Customizing

Display

Source Field: The query field to use as the source of the chord.

Target Field: The query field to use as the target of the chord.

Value Field: The query field (usually the metric) to be used to determine the thickness of the each chord.

Text Length: The amount of space alloted for labels on the outside of the diagram.

Standard

Units: Set the units for the values in the Standard Options section.

Installing ESnet Chord on Grafana Cloud:

For more information, visit the docs on plugin installation.

Installing on a local Grafana:

For local instances, plugins are installed and updated via a simple CLI command. Plugins are not updated automatically, however you will be notified when updates are available right within your Grafana.

1. Install the Panel

Use the grafana-cli tool to install ESnet Chord from the commandline:

grafana-cli plugins install 

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.

To see a list of installed panels, click the Plugins item in the main menu. Both core panels and installed panels will appear.
