This panel type supports any time series data that can be aggregated to a single value. The time series data can be from logs, traces, or metrics.
Setup
The following graph shows the combined average requests per second (req/s) for all services over a period of time.
Configuration

- Choose the metric, APM, or log to display
- Metric: see the Metrics query builder documentation to configure metric query
