Currently, the only way to look at a specific dashboard for a specific node (Panel Title) is to use the metric URL and link the dashboard with the node (Panel Title) variable. This is unfortunate because it clutters the beautiful status panel with useless text. Would it be possible to make the text for any panel title a hyperlink? That link could then be set in the Status Panel options and could parse variables such as the current node. Basically, that hyperlink would act the same way as the Metric URL but for the Panel Title.

Could you provide Prometheus datasource?

I understand that the idea of Status panel is to aggregate many metrics into a single panel.
But when too many of these metrics have an issue, the list in the panel gets too long and the panel stretches vertically.

This breaks the layout and reduces the transparency of the whole board, as rows grow very high and won't fit on a single screen at some point.

I'd love an option to restrict the metrics displayed in the panel, e.g. restriction of 5 failing metrics to 3 could look like:
My Status Panel
Red Metric 1
Red Metric 2
Red Metric 3
(... and 2 more)

Alternative: Restriction of a panel to a maximum height (the property height of a Status panel cannot be used for that currently), where extraneous metrics could simply be cut off.

What do you think of this?

Defining drill-down links on a status panel makes its title (the center text) clickable.
I'd like this to use to link to detail dashboard, and I want it to open in the current tab. So I don't check the option "Open in new Tab"

Still, the link will open in a new tab (Firefox) or new browser window (Internet Explorer).

Also, while I don't define any Url parameters, and don't include time range or variables, the link ends with ?undefined

Can you take a look into this?
Aside from these issues, this panel type suits our need really well, so thumbs up!

Right now I see there is no way to configure panel colors apart from Warning, Ok and Critical. Is it possible to include a feature to configure panels colors as well?

When using Status Panel to repeat panels, it is very necessary to hide the metrics in the repeat panels if they were to be null.
Saves a lot of work time by having to create each status panel individually.

The javascript seems in the current version to throw an error (tested with Chrome v58) and seems like the input variable is not set and therefore the regular expression matching seems to be unhappy:

Background: I was trying to round a float (coming from a sumSeries graphite operation) and limit the number of digits displayed in the status panel to ease reading the status for multiple servers.

Hi,

When I use ElasticSearch as datasource, and put my query time to 10m, I see that the blocks are not a sliding window, but blocks of time 00:00-00:10 / 00:10-00:20 etc.

For a status panel, this is not working, because the thresholds are set for a complete set of occurrences in the full 10 minute timeframe.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a current limitation?

Thanks!
Sjoerd

Grafana Labs is currently working on DataDog plugin in beta. I'm currently beta-testing it. Would love to use your plugin with this plugin. Could you see about enhancement to support the DataDog plugin?

You can request the code by submitting as a beta evaluator.

The current threshold system assumes that larger values are a problem.

In a current use-case I have, larger values are a good thing (indicating number of operational systems).

I use the status panel in many of my dashboard and had extending your code to include String and Date Thresholds. I had also added the standard formatting options for Decimals, Units and Time/Date.

I was going to create a pull request but have just seen your recent commits that have "overloaded" the Threshold mode to cover both Numbers and Strings. Nice code factoring but makes it difficult to present formatting options as you don't know whether the measurement is going to be a string or a number.

I wondered whether you would be amenable to having separate Number Threshold, String Threshold and Date Threshold modes with each having their own formatting options (i.e. decimals and units for Number Thresholds, time/date formats for Date Thresholds) ?

If this is OK then I could look to adapt my changes to your latest code base and submit a pull request.

Hi Guys,

I want to know how can I support other data source? Currently we are using OpenTSDB as data source, I've tried this plugin in my project, seems it works with OpenTSDB. Could someone tell me for what reason it's not supported ? If I know the reason I may help on this.

HI !
Thank you for your status panel, i think that's exactly what i need, but I couldn't export any data from zabbix to this panel. Have you tested it? I mean Zabbix plugin for Grafana, it provides "Zabbix Datasource" within. Is there any way to add this functionality ?

When a template variable is used in a graphite query, the corresponding data is not being displayed.
Ex:
maxSeries(com.test.backend_01.jvm.heap.max) - this returns a value.
But
maxSeries(com.test.$server.jvm.heap.max) - where $server is a template variable defined to hold differing values, does not return any data.

Hello,
We have a case where we'd like to monitor boolean value from influx.
Ideally, we'd like to have for example green status for boolean true, warning for boolean false, and probably critical for data missing.
Currently Warning and Critical boxes don't support anything except [0-9,.+-]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the great work, it seems this status panel is the only one which can aggregate multiple metrics.

Though it doesn't fire thresholds if I specify them as numbers. I've found out that it happens due to incorrect propagation of the threshold values into the parseThresholds method, i.e. they are passed as strings anyway, so when you do the checking of angular.isNumber it's always a string. I'm on grafana 4.2.2 by the way.

Here is a work around that helped to fix it in meanwhile:

{
	key: "parseThresholds",
	value: function parseThresholds(metricOptions) {
		var res = {};

		res.warnIsNumber = NUMBER_REGEXP.test(res.warn);
		if (res.warnIsNumber) {
			res.warn = parseFloat(metricOptions.warn);
		} else {
			res.warn = metricOptions.warn;
		}

		res.critIsNumber = NUMBER_REGEXP.test(res.crit);
		if (res.critIsNumber) {
			res.crit = parseFloat(metricOptions.crit);
		} else {
			res.crit = metricOptions.crit;
		}
		return res;
	}
}

Thanks a ton for this great panel!

We make use of both the dark and light Grafana themes (depending on the customer). With the dark theme the text is clearly legible:

However with the light theme it's not:

It would be super if you could include an option to change the text colour.

When I add an absolute link (say www.github.com) to a status panel (General tab), the link appears as an annotation/popup.

However, the panel title also becomes clickable, but leads to the local URL [this-grafana]/dashboard/undefined?undefined

I guess it was intended for the Panel title to also become a link to www.github.com? This would be my expected behaviour, as the popup in the left upper corner is a bit too subtle.

Context:
Grafana 4.1.2.
Status Panel 1.0.3

Can you add alert feature to your plugin like in built in dasboard. And it'll be good to mark failed metric.
Thanks for your work.

Tried to use the plugin with prometheus even though I knew it was not supported. Please addsupport for prometheus to you plans

Would be great to add support for the Zabbix datasource.

Add support for Graphite data sources

On grafana 4.1.2 I installed the latest status panel version (1.0.1).
For testing I added one status panel and one singlestat panel with the same query on the metric tab to see the differences between them but I noticed the values displayed were different.
I installed the panel through grafana-cli command.
What can I do to solve the problem?

Thanks

It looks like Grafana Status Panel isn't working with Grafana 4.1.x. Do you have plans to support Grafana 4.x?

It seems I can't configure Grafana Status Panel in 4.1.1 because I'm not able to define thresholds on the Options tab.

Hi there,

I'm using
Plugin version: 1.0.3
Grafana: v4.2.0 (commit: 349f3eb)
Influxdb: 1.2.2

and Show disable for no data options doesn't work. it always shows dead host as green.

That's the query browser sends to influxdb

SELECT mean("usage_idle") * -1 + 100 FROM "cpu" WHERE "cpu" = 'cpu-total' AND "host" =~ /^ SERVERNAME $/ AND time > now() - 60s;SELECT "used_percent" FROM "mem" WHERE "host" =~ /^ SERVERNAME $/ AND time > now() - 60s;SELECT mean("percent_packet_loss") FROM "ping" WHERE "host" =~ /^SERVERNAME$/ AND "url" = '45.32.86.215' AND time > now() - 60s

and here is the return.

{
    "results": [
        {
            "statement_id": 0
        },
        {
            "statement_id": 1
        },
        {
            "statement_id": 2
        }
    ]
}

I've ran the same query via CLI and no data was returned either.

Any ideas?

Hi,

while the Make panel gray when no data option is very useful, it should be applicable on a per metric basis.

So imagine I aggregate 2 metrics Metric A and Metric B in a single Status panel, where there's no data for Metric A, but 'good' values for Metric B.

With Status Panel 1.0.4, the panel turns green. But there are cases (like ours :)) where 'no values' is just as problematic as 'bad values'.

Thus I propose to add an option to the threshold of each metric,
e.g.
Warning..............90
Critical.............50
Alert 'No data'......✔
Show always..........

This would imply that panels with metrics without data will no longer be green, but gray. Also, the 'gray' metrics would be listed on the panel.

If there are metrics that satisfy the Warning or Critical thresholds, these should probably outrule the no data threshold. To visualize the prioritization Critical > Warning > No data > No threshold met, you could consider switching Warning with Critical in the Threshold section.

What's your opinion?

Add support for Prometheus data sources.
I would really appreciate it to use this add-on with prometheus data source.

Zabbix support would be awesome.

Since you can supply template variables via the URL in graphite, it would nice if the status panel did the interpolation before the call.

The regex values were not being applied to numbers. (Grafana 4.4.3 - Graphite Datasource) - I was unable to find a suitable way of getting graphite to round its values (perhaps there is one that I'm unaware of). But In any case, I feel the behavior of the valuedisplayregex is improved by having it also support numerical values.

I modified dist/status_ctrl.js as follows to achieve the desired result: (I don't typically code in javascript - I didn't submit it as a patch as I suspect you may wish to alter significantly)

It uses the original filter for number in the cases where regex fails.

                                            coreModule.filter('numberOrTextWithRegex', function () {
                                                    var numberOrTextFilter = function numberOrTextFilter(input, textRegex) {
                                                    var stringInput;
                                                    var failReturn;

                                                    if (angular.isNumber(input)) {
                                                       stringInput = input.toString();
                                                       failReturn = _this2.filter('number')(input);
                                                    } else {
                                                       stringInput = input;
                                                       failReturn = input;
                                                    }


                                                    if (textRegex == null || textRegex.length == 0) {
                                                        return failReturn;
                                                    } else {
                                                        var regex = void 0;

                                                        try {
                                                            regex = new RegExp(textRegex);
                                                        } catch (e) {
                                                            return failReturn;
                                                        }

                                                        var matchResults = stringInput.match(regex);
                                                        if (matchResults == null) {
                                                            return failReturn;
                                                        } else {
                                                            return matchResults[0];
                                                        }

                                                    }
                                                    }; 

I need an indicator that goes to red in case that a value goes below a threshold and not above.

This could be done by changing the css, but would impact all panels. An additional configuration option should be easy to implement and would be the right way to go.

Kind regards,
Nadir

Would like to have the option to be able to change the number display type being displayed, e.g. percent, float, integer, etc...
e.g. value is 10, display would 10%

We want to define threshold when certain values are going down.

It would be very useful to be able to apply the standard Grafana units to each measurement in the panel, especially on a per-measurement basis. Our use case is monitoring server hardware (CPU, memory, disk, IO, etc.).

This plugin has been super useful so far. But to have a Dashboard full of panels is overwhelming.

I would like to have an aggregated dashboard that shows if my service is green - amber - red based on status of other panels from other / same dashboard.

Hi
Uncheck the "Show Value" checkbox show the alias but not the value
Click on the eye icon hide the metric at all with no way to set a threshold for this field.
What we look for is a mix of the two above. Means not showing the value and the metric . However, be able to set a threshold color according to the field value.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Eli

The metric is not shown when using template in query. I forced to show the data but still didn't work. But when I query the server straight from the query everything work fine.

Graphite v. 0.9
Grafana v. 4.5
Status panel v. 1.05

Hi,
Status panel plugin is very useful for us and I'm using it to display several values at each panel.
In my case, the panel can be much usable if fields appear in the same sorting manner.

Thanks a lot !
Doron

In the README it says in the 3rd item on How to use: Go the the Options tab, and enter the Warning and Critical thresholds for each of your queries

My Options tab only shows:

• Panel Title
• Remove Prefix

I cannot find the threshold settings in any of the tabs (General Metrics Options Time range)

My (repeated) status panels are shown green (and only geen). Furthermore my query shows a correct graph when clicked on the Link to Graph in Prometheus

Can it be caused by the Panel data souce which is Prometheus?

Version Info

• I am using Grafana v4.1.1
• Same with Grafana v3.1.1 (commit: a4d2708)
• The status_panel is version 1.0.0
• Query on Prometheus

Add a place to add links to every monitored field so they will be clickable, and send you to a page that explains them, or helps you to fix the issue they are reporting

Hi, thank you for the awesome plugin!

It would be awesome if you could add the option to hide panels that are in the green. Use case example: I have a list of ~150 servers, and while it is nice to see that a lot of the servers are doing fine, it takes up a lot of screen space, to the point where I can barely fit them all on one screen. I would like to be able to only display the ones that require my attention, that is, only show the ones that are above the warning/critical threshold.

Hi.
I know it's not supposed to be included, but it seems like a very useful panel for Zabbix.
So far I was able to select the metrics as if it was supported but then I get no values.
Not sure if this is the right way to do such a request, please delete if inapropriate.

Could you provide Elasticsearch support? I'll be great to have it.

I am trying to group all measurements from, for example, disk usage in one panel, so it can alert if any of the hosts is using more than x% of disk.

The panel does not seem to support tags in the Alias. This means I will have to add every host manually?

Would it also be possible to display a maximum number of decimals displayed for readability?

Controlling the font will allow for better display options.
Using something like the SingleStat percentage or having the option to user Markup/HTML would be great.

Hello,

I'm trying to use your plug-in to build status tiles for each of our apps, for which I need to add multiple Bosun queries for each panel. The problem is that when I add the second query I get the error saying: "Error: There are multiple measurements with the same alias. Please give each measurement a unique name." No matter how I change the alias names the same error always appears. I debugged your code and if I understood it correctly it not only checks for unique alias, but also for unique targets (https://github.com/Vonage/Grafana_Status_panel/blob/master/src/status_ctrl.js#L96) which is weird as I can't even set different targets per query (and I don't even want to).
Could you please clarify the exact behavior as I can't solve this problem myself...?

Thanks,
Balazs

It will be helpful to go on another grafana dashboard by clicking on any warning and critical value. This could be similar to 'Drilldown / detail link' option available under General setting of any panel.

Support for Prometheus datasource would be very helpful

I want to see the text as white in the green background and I am not able to do it. Can someone help me out with this issue?
