Time series

Time series visualization is the default and primary way to visualize time series data. It can render as a line, a path of dots, or a series of bars. It is versatile enough to display almost any time-series data. This public demo dashboard contains many different examples for how this visualization can be configured and styled.

Note: You can migrate Graph panel visualizations to Time series visualizations. To migrate, open the panel and then select the Time series visualization. Grafana transfers all applicable settings.

Common time series options

These options are available whether you are graphing your time series as lines, bars, or points.

{{< docs/shared "visualizations/tooltip-mode.md" >}}

{{< docs/shared "visualizations/legend-mode.md" >}}

Legend calculations

Choose which of the [standard calculations]({{< relref "../../panels/calculation-types.md">}}) to show in the legend. You can have more than one.

Graph styles

Use these options to choose how to display your time series data.

  • [Graph time series as lines]({{< relref "./graph-time-series-as-lines.md" >}})
  • [Graph time series as bars]({{< relref "./graph-time-series-as-bars.md" >}})
  • [Graph time series as points]({{< relref "./graph-time-series-as-points.md" >}})
  • [Graph stacked time series]({{< relref "./graph-time-series-stacking.md" >}})
  • [Graph and color schemes]({{< relref "./graph-color-scheme.md" >}})

Transform

Use this option to transform the series values without affecting the values shown in the tooltip, context menu, and legend.

  • Negative Y transform - Flip the results to negative values on the Y axis.
  • Constant - Show first value as a constant line.

Note: Transform option is only available as an override.

Axis

For more information about adjusting your time series axes, refer to [Change axis display]({{< relref "change-axis-display.md" >}}).
