Summary

That's it for the graph panel for now! I invite you to play around with the various settings, especially those in the Visualization panel. Here are some simple exercises for you to try out:

  1. Create multiple data series in the Query tab. Try out the different Scenarios to see how they create different kinds of data. Rearrange the order to see what effect it has on the graph.
  2. Play with different combinations of drawing objects in the Displaysection. Change the fill or size of points, lines, and bars.
  3. Turn on the legend and test out its many options. Try clicking on various elements in the legend itself – you might find some surprises!

This chapter completesSection 1: Getting Started With Grafana. In this section, we installed the Grafana server, checked out the Grafana application interface, set up some simple dashboards, and graphed test data sources. In the next section,Section 2: Real-World Grafana, we'll start looking more deeply into these same features and learn how to use them in more realistic scenarios.
