Histogram Panel Plugin for Grafana

This plugin show the Histogram of time series data.

How this plugin works

This plugin receives raw time series data, and count each value occurrence, and then show the occurrence as histogram.

Supported Datasources

I confirmed this plugin work with following datasource.

  • Prometheus

But, this plugin can handle time series data (defined by Grafana plugin interface).

Should work with Graphite / InfluxDB / OpenTSDB.

Options

    • Can configure bucket size to make histogram data.

Known Issues

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 Histogram 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.
