Value options

Use the following options to refine how your visualization displays the value:

Show

Choose how Grafana displays your data.

Calculate

Show a calculated value based on all rows.

• Calculation - Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. For a list of available calculations, refer to Calculation types.
• Fields - Select the fields display in the panel.

All values

Show a separate stat for every row. If you select this option, then you can also limit the number of rows to display.

• Limit - The maximum number of rows to display. Default is 5,000.
• Fields - Select the fields display in the panel.

Gauge

Adjust how the gauge is displayed.

Orientation

Choose a stacking direction.

• Auto - Gauges display in rows and columns.
• Horizontal - Gauges display top to bottom.
• Vertical - Gauges display left to right.

Show threshold labels

Controls if threshold values are shown.

Show threshold markers

Controls if a threshold band is shown outside the inner gauge value band.

Gauge size

Choose a gauge size mode.

• Auto - Grafana determines the best gauge size.
• Manual - Manually configure the gauge size.

Min width

Set the minimum width of vertically-oriented gauges.

If you set a minimum width, the x-axis scrollbar is automatically displayed when there’s a large amount of data.

Min height

Set the minimum height of horizontally-oriented gauges.

If you set a minimum height, the y-axis scrollbar is automatically displayed when there’s a large amount of data.

Neutral

Set the starting value from which every gauge will be filled.
