Beginners guide - Visualizing Canvas in Grafana | Grafana Labs

Grafana

Oct 31, 2024

In this video, Grafana Developer Advocate Leandro Melendez describes how Canvas panels combine the power of Grafana with the flexibility of custom elements. They are extensible visualizations that allow you to add and arrange elements wherever you want within unstructured static and dynamic layouts. This lets you design custom visualizations and overlay data in ways that aren’t possible with standard Grafana visualizations, all within the Grafana UI.
