Percentage Trend
Grafana Percent Trend Stat Panel
A panel plugin for Grafana >= 8.1.0 which computes and displays percent with trend compared to a previous value in a stat style big value manner.
Configuration allows to display the percentage value compared to the base value plain or interpret the percentage change as difference ("trend") with a colored (green/red) triangle symbol to see the trend evolution easily.
The idea for this plugin panel was inspired by an article about Embedded Analytics.
