Stat
The Stat visualization displays a single prominent value, ideal for KPIs, summary numbers, and at-a-glance metrics.
When to Use
- Displaying a single important value (e.g., total requests, error rate, uptime)
- Showing a key metric with trend context via a sparkline
- Dashboard headers or summary panels
Building a Stat Panel
- Open the Data Explorer
- Select your data source (Metrics, Logs, or Traces)
- Configure your query (see Query Builder)
- Select Stat as the Panel Type in the right sidebar
- Click Run to render the stat
In the example above, the panel queries Logs data with count(*) aggregation and displays the total count as a single stat value with a sparkline trend behind it.
Multiple Queries
Add multiple queries to display several stat values side by side in the same panel. Each query produces its own stat card with an independent value and label.
In the example above, query A shows the Trace Count and query B shows the Count of Logs, displayed together with percentage change indicators.
Formulas
Use formulas to create computed stats from your queries. Click Add Formula and enter an expression combining your queries (e.g., A / B). See Time Series — Formulas for more details.
