# Bar gauge panel
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/bar_gauge_cover.png" max-width="1025px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
This panel can show one or more bar gauges depending on how many series, rows or columns your query returns. The
thresholds control the bar & value color.
## Display options
* Show
* `Calculation` - Show a calculated value like min or max based on all rows.
* `All values` - Show a separate stat for every row.
* Calc
* Specify calculation / reducer function. Since this panel is designed to only show a single value Grafana needs to
know how to reduce a fields many values to a single value.
* Orientation
* `Horizontal` - The bar will stretch horizontally from left to right.
* `Vertical` - The bar will stretch vertically from top to bottom.
* Mode
* `Gradient` - The threshold levels define a gradient.
* `Retro LCD` - The gauge is split up in small cells that are lit or unlit.
* `Basic` - Single color based on the matching threshold.
Retro LCD example:
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/bar_gauge_lcd.png" max-width="1025px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
### Field
* `Title` - When multiple stats are shown this field controls the title in each stat. By default this is the series name
and field name. You can use expressions like `${__series.name}` or `${__field.name}` to use only series name or field
name in title or `${__cell_2}` to refer to other fields (2 being field/column with index 2).
* `Min` - The minimum value, leave blank for auto calculation based on all series & fields. Used by Graph to set y-axis min.
* `Max` - The maximum value, leave blank for auto calculation based on all series & fields. Used by Graph to set y-axis max.
* `Decimals` - Number of decimals to render value with. Leave empty for Grafana to automatically figure out the best
number of decimals to use.
### Thresholds
Define thresholds that will set the color of either the value or the background depending on your `Color` display option. The
thresholds are automatically sorted from lowest value to highest. The `Base` value represents minus infinity.
### Value mappings
Map a number or a range of numbers to a text value.
### Data links
Data links allow you add dynamic URL links to your visualizations, [read more on data links]({{< relref "../../reference/datalinks.md" >}}).

# Gauge panel
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/gauge_panel_cover.png" max-width="1025px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
The Gauge is a single value panel that can repeat a gauge for every series, column or row.
## Display options
* Show
* `Calculation` - Show a calculated value like min or max based on all rows.
* `All values` - Show a separate stat for every row.
* Calc
* Specify calculation / reducer function. Since this panel is designed to only show a single value Grafana needs to
know how to reduce a fields many values to a single value.
** Labels - Controls if thresholds values are shown.
** Markers - Controls if a thresholds band is shown outside the inner gauge value band.

Data link is defined by title, URL and a setting whether or not it should be opened in a new window.

#### Built-in variables
> These variables changed in 6.4 so if you have an older version of Grafana please use the version picker to select
docs for an older version of Grafana.
``__url_time_range`` - current dashboard's time range (i.e. ``?from=now-6h&to=now``)
``__from`` - current dashboard's time range from value
``__to`` - current dashboard's time range to value
#### Series variables
Series specific variables are available under ``__series`` namespace:
``__series.name`` - series name to the URL
``__series.labels.<LABEL>`` - label's value to the URL. If your label contains dots use ``__series.labels["<LABEL>"]`` syntax
#### Field variables
Field specific variables are available under ``__field`` namespace:
``__field.name`` - field name to the URL
#### Value variables
Value specific variables are available under ``__value`` namespace:
``__value.time`` - value's timestamp (Unix ms epoch) to the URL (i.e. ``?time=1560268814105``)
``__value.raw`` - raw value
``__value.numeric`` - numeric representation of a value
``__value.text`` - text representation of a value
``__value.calc`` - calculation name if the value is result of calculation
#### Template variables
When linking to another dashboard that uses template variables, you can use ``var-myvar=${myvar}`` syntax (where ``myvar`` is a name of template variable)
to use current dashboard's variable value. If you want to add all of the current dashboard's variables to the URL use ``__all_variables`` variable.

# Stat panel
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/stat_panel_dark3.png" max-width="1025px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
The stat panel is designed to show a big single stat values with an optional graph sparkline. You can control
background or value color using thresholds.
## Display options
* Show
* `Calculation` - Show a calculated value like min or max based on all rows.
* `All values` - Show a separate stat for every row.
* Calc
* Specify calculation / reducer function. Since this panel is designed to only show a single value Grafana needs to
know how to reduce a fields many values to a single value.
* Orientation
* If your query returns multiple series or you have set **Show** to `All values` then the visualization
will repeat for every series or row. This orientation option will control in what direction it will repeat.
** Color
* `Value` - Color the value and graph area only.
* `Background` - Color the background.
** Graph
* `None` - Disable the graph / sparkline
* `Area graph` - Show area graph below value. This requires that your query returns a time column.
** Justify
* `Auto` - If only a single value is shown (no repeat) the value is centered. If multiple series or rows the value is
* left aligned.
* `Center` - Force center alignment.
### Auto layout
The panel will try to auto adjust layout depending on width & height. The graph will also hide if the panel becomes
to small.
Example of stacked layout where graph is automatically hidden due to each stat being too small:
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/stat_panel_stacked.png" max-width="405px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
### Color mode
Example of value color mode:
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v66/stat_panel_dark4.png" max-width="900px" caption="Stat panel" >}}
### Field
* `Title` - When multiple stats are shown this field controls the title in each stat. By default this is the series name
and field name. You can use expressions like `${__series.name}` or `${__field.name}` to use only series name or field
name in title or `${__cell_2}` to refer to other fields (2 being field/column with index 2).
* `Min` - The minimum value, leave blank for auto calculation based on all series & fields. Used by graph/sparkline
* (when enabled) to set y-axis min.
* `Max` - The maximum value, leave blank for auto calculation based on all series & fields. Used by graph/sparkline
* (when enabled) to set y-axis max.
* `Decimals` - Number of decimals to render value with. Leave empty for Grafana to automatically figure out the best
number of decimals to use.
### Thresholds
Define thresholds that will set the color of either the value or the background depending on your `Color` display option. The
thresholds are automatically sorted from lowerst value to highest. The `Base` value represents minus infinity.
### Value mappings

* ``__value.text`` - text representation of a value
* ``__value.calc`` - calculation name if the value is result of calculation
### Template variables
When linking to another dashboard that uses template variables, you can use ``var-myvar=${myvar}`` syntax (where ``myvar`` is a name of template variable)
to use current dashboard's variable value. If you want to add all of the current dashboard's variables to the URL use ``__all_variables`` variable.
