# Visualization panels
|
|
|
|
Grafana offers a variety of visualizations to support different use cases. This section of the documentation highlights the built-in panels, their options and typical usage.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** 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. For more information, see the [add a panel]({{< relref "../panels/working-with-panels/add-panel.md" >}}) documentation.
|
|
|
|
- Graphs & charts
|
|
- [Time series]({{< relref "./time-series/_index.md" >}}) is the default and main Graph visualization.
|
|
- [State timeline]({{< relref "./state-timeline.md" >}}) for state changes over time.
|
|
- [Status history]({{< relref "./status-history.md" >}}) for periodic state over time.
|
|
- [Bar chart]({{< relref "./bar-chart.md" >}}) shows any categorical data.
|
|
- [Histogram]({{< relref "./histogram.md" >}}) calculates and shows value distribution in a bar chart.
|
|
- [Heatmap]({{< relref "./heatmap.md" >}}) visualizes data in two dimensions, used typically for the magnitude of a phenomenon.
|
|
- [Pie chart]({{< relref "./pie-chart-panel.md" >}}) is typically used where proportionality is important.
|
|
- [Candlestick]({{< relref "./candlestick.md" >}}) is typically for financial data where the focus is price/data movement.
|
|
- Stats & numbers
|
|
- [Stat]({{< relref "./stat-panel.md" >}}) for big stats and optional sparkline.
|
|
- [Gauge]({{< relref "./gauge-panel.md" >}}) is a normal radial gauge.
|
|
- [Bar gauge]({{< relref "./bar-gauge-panel.md" >}}) is a horizontal or vertical bar gauge.
|
|
- Misc
|
|
- [Table]({{< relref "./table/_index.md" >}}) is the main and only table visualization.
|
|
- [Logs]({{< relref "./logs-panel.md" >}}) is the main visualization for logs.
|
|
- [Node Graph]({{< relref "./node-graph.md" >}}) for directed graphs or networks.
|
|
- Widgets
|
|
- [Dashboard list]({{< relref "./dashboard-list-panel.md" >}}) can list dashboards.
|
|
- [Alert list]({{< relref "./alert-list-panel.md" >}}) can list alerts.
|
|
- [Text panel]({{< relref "./text-panel.md" >}}) can show markdown and html.
|
|
- [News panel]({{< relref "./news-panel.md" >}}) can show RSS feeds.

## Get more
|
|
|
|
You can add more visualization types by installing panel [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]({{< relref "./time-series/_index.md" >}}) 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 the [Bar chart]({{< relref "./bar-chart.md" >}}) visualization.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/bar-chart-panel/barchart_small_example.png" max-width="700px" caption="Bar chart" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Big numbers & stats
|
|
|
|
The [Stat](stat-panel/) visualization shows one large stat value with an optional graph sparkline. You can control the background or value color using thresholds or color scales.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 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]({{< relref "./gauge-panel.md" >}}) shown below.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v66/gauge_panel_cover.png" max-width="700px" >}}
|
|
|
|
Secondly Grafana also has a horizontal or vertical [Bar gauge]({{< relref "./bar-gauge-panel.md" >}}) with three different distinct display modes.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v66/bar_gauge_lcd.png" max-width="700px" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Table
|
|
|
|
To show data in a table layout, use the [Table]({{< relref "./table/_index.md" >}}) visualization.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/tables/table_visualization.png" max-width="700px" lightbox="true" caption="Table visualization" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Pie chart
|
|
|
|
Grafana now ships with an included [Pie chart]({{< relref "./pie-chart-panel.md" >}}) visualization.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/pie-chart-panel/pie-chart-example.png" max-width="700px" lightbox="true" caption="Pie chart visualization" >}}
|
|
|
|
### Heatmaps
|
|
|
|
To show value distribution over, time use the [heatmap]({{< relref "./heatmap.md" >}}) visualization.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v43/heatmap_panel_cover.jpg" max-width="1000px" lightbox="true" caption="Heatmap" >}}
|
|
|
|
### State timeline
|
|
|
|
The state timeline panel visualization shows discrete state changes over time. When used with time series, the thresholds are used to turn the numerical values into discrete state regions.
