• Added support for streaming for WebSockets and Grafana Live.

Streaming

Streaming enables real-time data updates using streaming data sources and Grafana Live. You can find examples and configurations in our documentation.

Grafana Live

Grafana Live is a real-time messaging engine introduced in Grafana v8.0. With Grafana Live, you can push event data to a frontend as soon as an event occurs.

Business Charts allows displaying messages from Grafana Live real-time engine.

WebSocket API

To stream real-time data, we used the WebSocket data source for Grafana.

Streaming real-time events from the WebSocket data source.

Data Zoom feature

The Data Zoom feature allows you to select a time period on the chart for zooming in. Once the time range is selected, the event can update the time range on the dashboard using the locationService parameter, similar to native Grafana behavior.

In the Random Walk example, the Data Zoom feature allows you to zoom in a temporal time range within the defined range.

You can find the code snippet in the Event Handling section.
