• Green less than 365 days.

Plugins dashboard helps us to learn about new plugins in the Grafana Catalog.

Single value table

The single value table was updated to support the All option and allows to select a single value by clicking on it.

To select a single value, choose the value from the list.

Collapse and expand all

We added a new collapse and expand all button next to the variable title in the header. It's a must-have feature to expand and collapse all branches at the same time for 5+ levels.

Expand and collapse all feature allows to quickly switch between branches.

Tree View groups

A new feature allows to drag and drop configured Tree View groups to rearrange how they will be displayed on the panel.

Groups and Levels support drag and drop functionality.
