Features

  • Modern design for Grafana 12 — panel uses built-in theme-ready components.
  • Flexible grouping — nest resources by any combination of fields, with configurable sort order, coloring, and layout.
  • Multiple display modes — simple colored cells, cells with text labels, or rich table cards showing multiple fields per resource.
  • Joins — attach metrics from other data frames to groups or individual resources via key-based joins.
  • Field visualizations — text, colored text, colored background, gauges, and sparklines for joined or inline fields.
  • Color overrides — fields and joins can override cell colors based on threshold severity.
  • Data links support — defined data links for any group, resource, or metric.
  • Tooltips — hoverable tooltips with configurable title, fields, and joined data.

Requirements

  • Grafana 12.0 or later.
