Grafana Chartwerk Panel (beta)

Grafana Chartwerk Panel renders metrics using ChartWerk libraries. For now, it can render as a line and a series of bars. We are working on adding new visualizations.

Features

• 2 types of visualizations:
  • line-chart
  • bar-chart
• ability to make panel's time range independent of dashboard's (doesn't work in Grafana 7).
• ability to display template variables inside the panel.
• "Charge" mode: green color for positive graph's slope, red color for negative graph's slope.
• confidence interval (for line).
• customizable X-axis labels.
• customizable grid interval.
