Dynamic text for Grafana
A panel plugin for Grafana for dynamic, data-driven text.
While the built-in Text panel in Grafana does support variables, that's about as dynamic it gets. This panel lets you define a text template using the data from your data source query.
- Supports Markdown and Handlebars
- Uses markdown-it for rendering Markdown to HTML
Documentation
Full documentation for the plugin is available on the website.
Security
HTML inside templates is sanitized using XSS through textUtil.
Enterprise plugins, along with support and assistance from the core team behind Grafana, are available with Grafana Enterprise.
Installing Dynamic text on Grafana Cloud:
Installing plugins on a Grafana Cloud instance is a one-click install; same with updates. Cool, right?
Note that it could take up to 1 minute to see the plugin show up in your Grafana.
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 Dynamic text 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.
Alternatively, you can manually download the .zip file for your architecture below and unpack it into your grafana plugins directory.
Alternatively, you can manually download the .zip file and unpack it into your grafana plugins directory.
