#Trackmap grafana code
Grafana variables allow you to use a drop down menu to select various options, no code modifications required Here’s an example in Grafana, the open-source visualization tool, where I’ve created “pickers” (filters) that allow me and other stakeholders of the dashboard to choose values from a drop down menu and immediately see our selections appear in the visual, without having to change any of the underlying SQL queries powering the dashboard.
It’s a win-win situation: more usability for the stakeholders who rely on your dashboards, and less of your time spent attending to minor customization changes. Or worse, stakeholders try to dig into the code and accidentally break things! Solution: Make Your Dashboards Interactive (and User-Friendly!)įortunately, many visualization tools have features to make your graphs, maps, tables, and other visualizations interactive via the tool's native UI. Those of us that work with data often want to make useful dashboards that make it easier for ourselves and other people within our team and organization, to gain insight and make sense of the data we collect.Ī common problem I’ve run into (both when creating dashboards and using them as a stakeholder) is that many dashboards aren’t interactive enough for non-technical stakeholders to get their questions answered without asking engineers to write new code or change the underlying queries powering the dashboard. The (All Too Common) Problem: Boring, Kind of Useful, Static Dashboards
