Grafana Catalog

The plugin was updated in the Grafana Plugins catalog on June 15, 2023.

Image Toolbar

The new toolbar allows you to download, zoom, and navigate between multiple images retrieved from your data source.

The toolbar is enabled by default in the panel options, but you need to define what action buttons to display. The toolbar remains hidden until buttons are selected.
