​
Timeseries

What it shows
  • A line chart plotting one or more numeric series over time.
When to use it
  • Compare several devices, sensors, or metrics on the same time axis.
Interactions and info available
  • Hover the chart to see exact values and timestamps in the tooltip.
  • Zoom and pan the time range (use the dashboard time picker or, where available, drag to zoom).
  • Toggle series visibility using the legend (if enabled) to focus on specific lines.

Logs

What it shows
  • A paginated or streaming view of log entries. Each row is a log event with timestamp and structured fields.
When to use it
  • Investigate events, errors, or textual traces emitted by devices and services.
Interactions and info available
  • Search and filter log text (when available) to find specific entries.
  • Click an entry to expand details or view related fields.
  • Tail or stream live logs when the dashboard is in live mode.

​
Gauge

What it shows
  • A single-value radial gauge that highlights the current value relative to configured min/max and thresholds.
When to use it
  • Monitor a single key indicator that needs to be visible at a glance, such as CPU usage, battery level, or temperature.
Interactions and info available
  • Numeric value and optional progress visualization in the ring.
  • Threshold colors indicate normal, warning, or critical ranges.
  • Configure min/max, thresholds, units, and number of decimals in the panel settings.

​
Stat

What it shows
  • A large single numeric value, optionally with a small sparkline showing a recent mini-trend. Useful for dashboards that need to display many KPIs compactly.
When to use it
  • Show totals, averages, counts, or the latest reading for a metric when space is limited.
Interactions and info available
  • Optional sparkline to hint at the short-term trend.
  • Click or configure to change how the value is aggregated (latest, average, sum, etc.).

​
Image

What it shows
  • An image pulled from a query (for example, a camera snapshot or an image stored as a metric). The panel shows the latest image for the selected time range.
When to use it
  • Visual inspection tasks, camera feeds, or showing pictures associated with events.
Interactions and info available
  • Configure which query supplies the image and the time range used to select the snapshot.
  • If no image appears, verify the query is complete in the panel configuration.

​
Host Map

What it shows
  • A hexagonal (or grid) map of hosts/devices colored by a metric’s value. Each tile represents a device or cluster, helping you spot hot/cold areas quickly.
When to use it
  • Quickly identify groups of devices that are above or below thresholds (for example, many devices with high CPU or low battery in the same region).
Interactions and info available
  • Hover tiles to see the device name and current value.
  • Optional labels and cluster names can be toggled in the panel settings.
  • Tile size and legend visibility are configurable.

​
Map

What it shows
  • Geographic or coordinate maps plotting positions from metrics (latitude/longitude) and optional labels. It can also render paths for moving devices.
When to use it
  • Visualize locations and movement traces of devices, assets, or vehicles.
Interactions and info available
  • Add at least two queries (latitude and longitude); an optional third query can provide labels.
  • Pan, zoom, and inspect individual points. Paths can be rendered in the latest or full-mode depending on configuration.

​
3D Scene

What it shows
  • A 3D visualization of points, paths, or simple scenes derived from up to three numeric series (commonly X/Y/Z coordinates).
When to use it
  • Explore spatial data when a flat map is not enough—for example, altitude-aware paths or simple 3D position traces.
Interactions and info available
  • Rotate, pan, and zoom the scene to inspect trajectories and points.
  • Display a latest marker to highlight the most recent position.

Tips for choosing the right visualization

  • Use Timeseries for trends and multi-series comparison.
  • Use Gauge or Stat for single high-priority KPIs that should be visible at a glance.
  • Use Map or Host Map for spatial information and clustering.
  • Use Logs when you need to inspect textual events instead of numeric metrics.
If you’re unsure, start with a Timeseries or Stat panel and adjust to Gauge or Map once you know which single value or spatial relationship you need to highlight.
