Convertify Panel for Grafana

Convertify is a powerful panel plugin for Grafana designed to help visualize real-time data with detailed bit-level analysis. It integrates with Grafana's time-series data and transforms it into binary or hexadecimal representations. This plugin is perfect for monitoring and analyzing data with bitfield structures, such as industrial systems, IoT devices, or control systems.

Features

• Real-time Data Visualization: Visualizes time-series data from Grafana.
• Binary and Hexadecimal Conversion: Convert numerical values into binary or hexadecimal formats.
• Bit-Level Representation: Show bit-level status using predefined bitfields (e.g., Status, Stop, Emergency Stop).
• Pagination: Data is displayed in pages, making it easy to navigate large datasets.
• Flexible Data Input: Works with any time-series data with numerical values.
• Customizable Text Size: Adjust text size for better readability.
• Dynamic Text Color: Select text colors based on the Grafana theme.

How It Works

The panel works by transforming numerical values into binary or hexadecimal formats and displaying them in a table along with their corresponding bitfield values.

Key Concepts:

• Binary Conversion: Each numerical value is converted into a 32-bit binary representation.
• Hex Conversion: The panel can also convert values into a hexadecimal format.
• Bitfields: Each value is analyzed according to predefined bitfields (e.g., Status, Stop, Fault Stop), where each bit represents a specific status (set or clear).

Expected Data Format

For the plugin to work, you need a time-series dataset that contains both time and numerical fields. Here's an example of the expected data:

• Time: A field containing timestamp data (required).
• Value: A numerical field representing the data to be visualized (required).

Using the Plugin

1. Add the Panel to a Dashboard: Once installed, add the Convertify panel to your dashboard like any other panel.
2. Configure the Data Source: Choose a data source that provides time-series data with numerical values.
3. Select Conversion Type: Choose whether to visualize the data as binary, hexadecimal, or both.
4. Use Filters: Apply filters to view data for specific bitfields.
5. Navigate through Pages: Use the pagination buttons to navigate through large datasets.

Configuration Options

• Text Size: Choose between small, medium, or large text size.
• Field Selection: Pick a numerical field from your dataset.
• Conversion Type: Display data in binary, hexadecimal, or both formats.
• Text Color: Customize text color dynamically based on Grafana's theme.
• Show Constant Columns: Toggle to show or hide the bitfield columns for status monitoring.
