Timeseries Chart
A Timeseries chart is a plot chart that shows trends over time. For example, you can show the memory usage over time, the number of requests over time, etc.
Data Formats
Supported signals
- Logs
- Traces
- Metrics
This panel type supports any time series data. The time series data can be from logs, traces, or metrics.
Examples
The following graph shows the requests per second (req/s) for a service over a period of time in line chart.
Configuration
Visualization
- Panel Time Preference — Override the global dashboard time range for this panel. Set to
Global Timeto use the dashboard's time picker, or choose a fixed time range. - Fill Gaps — The
Fill Gapsoption fills the gaps in the result data with zero. This is useful when you want to interpret the no data as zero. It is more appropriate for when the data is sparse. For example, if the result of a query for 10 minutes is{t1: 12, t3: 21, t5: 42, t7:29}, theFill Gapsoption will result in{t1: 12, t2: 0, t3: 21, t4: 0, t5: 42, t6: 0, t7: 29, t8: 0, t9: 0, t10: 0}.
Formatting & Units
- Y Axis Unit — The unit of the y-axis (for example,
Milliseconds (ms),Bytes,Percent). The default isNone. - Decimal Precision — Number of decimal places to display. The default is
2 decimals.
Axes
- Soft Min / Soft Max — Adjust the y-axis scale for better visualization. When set, the y-axis range uses these values instead of auto-adjusting based on the data. Useful when you want to prevent small values from being magnified too much.
- Y Axis Scale — Choose between
LinearandLogarithmicscale for the y-axis.
Legend
- Position — Set the legend position (
BottomorRight). - Legend Colors — Customize colors for individual series in the legend.
Alerts

Context Links
Add context links to enable click-through navigation from the panel to other dashboards, external URLs, or filtered views. See Interactivity for details.
Thresholds
Thresholds are used to draw a line on the y-axis to highlight the value. The thresholds are defined as a list of tuples. Each tuple contains the value and the color. The color is optional and if not provided, the default color will be used.
