Stat panel

This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see Working in Grafana version 10.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Working in Grafana version 9.

The stat panel shows a one large stat value with an optional graph sparkline. You can control the background or value color by using thresholds.

By default, the stat panel shows one of the following displays:

• Only the value for a single series or field.

• Both the value and name for multiple series or fields.

You can use the Text mode option to control whether the text is displayed or not.

Data and field options

Stat visualizations allow you to apply the following options:

• Transformations.

• Field options and overrides.

• Thresholds.

Automatic layout adjustment

The panel automatically adjusts the layout depending on available width and height in the dashboard. It automatically hides the graph (sparkline) if the panel becomes too small.

Display options

Use the following options to refine your visualization:

• Show – Choose how Amazon Managed Grafana displays your data.

  • Calculate – Show a calculated value based on all rows.

    • Calculation – Select a calculation to apply. For information about available calculations, see Calculations list.

  • All values – Show a separate stat for each row.

    • Limit – Specify the maximum number of rows to display.

• Fields – Select a field name or a field type (including All fields or Numeric fields) to include in this panel.

• Value – Select a reducer function that Amazon Managed Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. Choose the Value list to see functions and brief descriptions.

• Orientation – Choose a stacking direction.

  • Auto – Amazon Managed Grafana selects what it thinks is the best orientation.

  • Horizontal – Bars stretch horizontally, left to right.

  • Vertical – Bars stretch vertically, top to bottom.

• Text mode – You can use the Text mode option to control what text the panel displays. If only the name and color are important, and the value is not, change the Text mode to Name. The value is still used to determine color and is displayed in a tooltip.

  • Auto – If the data contains multiple series or fields, show both the name and the value.

  • Value – Show only the value, never the name. The name is displayed in tooltip.

  • Value and name – Always show the value and the name.

  • Name – Show the name instead of the value. The value is displayed in the tooltip.

  • None – Show nothing (empty). The name and the value are displayed in the tooltip.

• Color mode – Choose a color mode.

  • Value – Colors only the value and graph area.

  • Background – Colors the background as well.

• Graph mode – Choose a graph mode.

  • None – Hides the graph and shows only the value.

  • Area – Shows the area graph below the value. This option requires that your query returns a time column.

• Alignment mode – Choose an alignment mode.

  • Auto – If only a single value is shown (no repeat), the value is centered. If multiple series or rows are shown, the value is left-aligned.

  • Center – Stat value is centered.
