# Visualizations
|
|
|
|
Grafana offers a variety of visualizations to support different use cases. This section of the documentation highlights the built-in visualizations, their options and typical usage.

|
|
If you are unsure which visualization to pick, Grafana can provide visualization suggestions based on the panel query. When you select a visualization, Grafana will show a preview with that visualization applied.

|
|
|
|
- Graphs & charts
|
|
- [Time series][] is the default and main Graph visualization.
|
|
- [State timeline][] for state changes over time.
|
|
- [Status history][] for periodic state over time.
|
|
- [Bar chart][] shows any categorical data.
|
|
- [Histogram][] calculates and shows value distribution in a bar chart.
|
|
- [Heatmap][] visualizes data in two dimensions, used typically for the magnitude of a phenomenon.
|
|
- [Pie chart][] is typically used where proportionality is important.
|
|
- [Candlestick][] is typically for financial data where the focus is price/data movement.
|
|
- [Gauge][] is the traditional rounded visual showing how far a single metric is from a threshold.
|
|
- [Trend][] for datasets that have a sequential, numeric x that is not time.
|
|
- [XY chart][] provides a way to visualize arbitrary x and y values in a graph.
|
|
- Stats & numbers
|
|
- [Stat][] for big stats and optional sparkline.
|
|
- [Bar gauge][] is a horizontal or vertical bar gauge.
|
|
- Misc
|
|
- [Table][] is the main and only table visualization.
|
|
- [Logs][] is the main visualization for logs.
|
|
- [Node graph][] for directed graphs or networks.
|
|
- [Traces][] is the main visualization for traces.
|
|
- [Flame graph][] is the main visualization for profiling.
|
|
- [Canvas][] allows you to explicitly place elements within static and dynamic layouts.
|
|
- [Geomap][] helps you visualize geospatial data.
|
|
- [Datagrid][] allows you to create and manipulate data, and act as data source for other panels.
|
|
- Widgets
|
|
- [Dashboard list][] can list dashboards.
|
|
- [Alert list][] can list alerts.
|
|
- [Annotations list][] can list available annotations.
|
|
- [Text][] can show markdown and html.
|
|
- [News][] can show RSS feeds.
|
|

The following video shows you how to create gauge, time series line graph, stats, logs, and node graph visualizations:

## Get more
|
|
|
|
You can add more visualization types by installing [panel plugins](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/?type=panel).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Below you can find some good examples for how all the visualizations in Grafana can be configured. You can also explore [play.grafana.org](https://play.grafana.org) which has a large set of demo dashboards that showcase all the different visualizations.
|
|
|
|
### Graphs
|
|
|
|
For time based line, area and bar charts we recommend the default [time series][] visualization. [This public demo dashboard](https://play.grafana.org/d/000000016/1-time-series-graphs?orgId=1) contains many different examples for how this visualization can be configured and styled.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/time-series-panel/time_series_small_example.png" max-width="700px" caption="Time series" >}}
|
|
|
|
For categorical data use a [bar chart][].
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/bar-chart-panel/barchart_small_example.png" max-width="700px" caption="Bar chart" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Big numbers & stats
|
|
|
|
A [stat][] shows one large stat value with an optional graph sparkline. You can control the background or value color using thresholds or color scales.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v66/stat_panel_dark3.png" max-width="1025px" caption="Stat" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Gauge
|
|
|
|
If you want to present a value as it relates to a min and max value you have two options. First a standard radial [gauge][] shown below.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v66/gauge_panel_cover.png" max-width="700px" alt="A gauge visualization" >}}
|
|
|
|
Secondly Grafana also has a horizontal or vertical [bar gauge][] with three different distinct display modes.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v66/bar_gauge_lcd.png" max-width="700px" alt="A bar gauge visualization" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Table
|
|
|
|
To show data in a table layout, use a [table][].
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/tables/table_visualization.png" max-width="700px" lightbox="true" caption="Table visualization" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Pie chart
|
|
|
|
To display reduced series, or values in a series, from one or more queries, as they relate to each other, use a [pie chart][].
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/pie-chart-panel/pie-chart-example.png" max-width="700px" lightbox="true" caption="Pie chart" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Heatmaps
|
|
|
|
To show value distribution over, time use a [heatmap][].
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v43/heatmap_panel_cover.jpg" max-width="1000px" lightbox="true" caption="Heatmap" >}}
|
|
|
|
### State timeline
|
|
|
|
A state timeline shows discrete state changes over time. When used with time series, the thresholds are used to turn the numerical values into discrete state regions.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v8/state_timeline_strings.png" max-width="700px" caption="State timeline with string states" >}}
