suggestion for next version: colored lines based on value

[hvdort]

I try to make a statuspicture of our network infrastructure. The status of the connections between the components are available in InfluxDB and I can use this panel to display this in text. Is it also possible to show only lines (with given start- and endpoint) with a color based on thresholds of a value?

You should be able to achieve this by choosing the symbol "Line 1" and tweaking the Symbol Width setting and the Angle (in "Position and Link" section)

Let me know if this works for you

Thank you for this answer! You are right. I figure this out today and it works! The only "problem" is cluttering in the interface during editing. I try to create a picture with about 30-40 lines on it ;-)

[LucasArona]

In your use case, does 1 line = 1 unique metric? Or, do you have multiple lines using the same metric? Would it help if you were able to add more than 1 symbol per metric?

[hvdort]

Each line has its own metric. It's a high-level picture of our network with many redundant connections in the core and also redundant connections to the edges and that in two sites. The acquisition of the counters is using my own go-based script using netconf and the storage in InfluxDB2. Sometimes it should be fine if it is possible to show the value under the line in stead of after the line, but I can overcome this issue on this moment with extra boxes connected to the same metric.... and thus even more clutter ;-)
