A Gauge Chart, also referred to as a dial or speedometer chart, uses needles to visually represent data readings on a dial. On a gauge chart, the value for each needle is read against the colored data range or chart axis. Following are the ways these charts make it easy for viewers to understand the displayed values.
To create the Gauge chart
(Refer to Dashboard Creation > Query)
On the right side of the default screen, select Visualization as Gauge to create an Gauge Chart panel.
There are multiple options to edit the properties of the panel. The first one is Panel Options. Enter a Name and Description for the Panel that you want to create. For instance, if you’re making a Gauge chart to track CPU current power consumption, name the panel “CPU Power” and describe it as “Current Power Consumption.”
The Description is available in the top left corner and can be viewed by hovering over the i button.
The next part of Panel Options is Panel Link where you can point a link to any other website or dashboard of your choice. Enter a title, URL and select the ‘Open in a new Tab’ option if you want to open the link in a new tab. Click Save.
The URL can be a link to another dashboard or for getting help or useful info. When you click on a panel, it opens the link either in the same tab or a new tab, depending on your choices. For example, if you want to compare a default dashboard, just click the link to open it.
The value options in a Gauge chart can be used to select what values, calculations, and fields should be displayed.
The Gauge options allow you to change Gauge properties.
The options include:
The Text size option allows you to change the Gauge text and value size to be displayed on the chart.
For example, when “Last” is selected, the last received data for the selected time period is shown.
The options include:
The Standard Options are used to configure the other standard settings in the graph. It changes the way the graph appears.
The further options include:
The Data Links option is similar to the Panel Link where you can link a URL and then open it in another tab. It is placed on the data instead of the Panel.
You can click on the data anywhere and the link option will appear
It is used for an instant link that you want to appear anytime you click on the data.
The Value Mappings option allows you to find a certain value and wherever the value lies, the display text is displayed. If there is a similar value in the data, it highlights in the form of the color selected.
The Threshold option is used to define the value threshold. You can set certain thresholds and color-code them.
There are two options to show thresholds mode:
For example, CPU usage is set as green for 0, blue for 10, and yellow for 20, that way you can easily see when the output is above the threshold and immediate action can be taken or an error alert can be sent out.
Use the Add field Override option to modify existing fields.
Overrides allow you to change the settings for one or more fields. Field options for overrides are the same as the field options available in a particular panel. The only difference is that you choose which fields to apply them to.
To add a field override, click on the Add Field Override button.
Select the Field type
Select a field type, based on the following properties:
You can add multiple fields overrides by repeating the same.
You have now learned how to configure the Gauge Chart, change the panel settings, and more. You can save and edit the panel later too.
You can use a Gauge Chart to display a single performance metric. It’s straightforward and user-friendly, showing the metric on a dial with color-coded ranges for easy interpretation. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Creating a Gauge Chart page.
Yes, you can customize various aspects of your Gauge Chart, such as text size, color schemes, and value thresholds. Detailed customization options are available in the Visualization Options section.
You can create a Gauge Chart panel specifically for CPU power consumption by naming it appropriately and describing its purpose. Adjust the value options to display the required metrics. For guidance, see the Panel Options and Value Options sections.
You can configure the chart to show a specific message or indicator when no value is available using the “No Value” option in the Standard Options. More details are in the Standard Options section.
You can use the Value Mappings and Thresholds options to highlight specific values or ranges. This allows you to set conditions for different color codes or display texts. For detailed steps, see the Value Mappings and Thresholds sections.
Yes, you can use the Add Field Override option to modify the settings for specific fields based on criteria such as name, type, or query. Check the Add Field Override section for instructions.
