New panel: Graphviz
New panel: Graphviz
The new Graphviz panel plugin lets you define interactive diagrams in the Graphviz DOT language, and map live data to them from any data source.
Map metrics to your mental models: service topologies, infrastructure dependencies, business workflows, or any structure where relationships matter as much as values.
The panel plugin has three input modes for different workflows:
- Builder: Drag-and-drop construction, no DOT knowledge required.
- Code: Write DOT syntax directly, with Grafana variable interpolation.
- Query: Render diagrams generated dynamically from a data source.
Bind your metrics to visual properties so diagrams update with your data: color nodes by health thresholds, update labels with live values, scale edge widths by throughput. Multiple layout engines (hierarchical, force-directed, circular, network) let you match the algorithm to your diagram’s structure.
The Graphviz panel is available as an experimental plugin. Install it from the plugin catalog to try it out.
