Gauge tile

Gauge tiles bring your data to life by displaying values from a selected component in a gauge-style visualization. They help you understand whether values fall within defined ranges, compare them against targets, and instantly see if a system or process is performing within acceptable limits.

Available tile settings

  • Show tile

  • Show timestamp

  • Show range label

  • Show ticks

  • Show target difference

  • Color value as range color

  • Use chart alias

  • Display value as percentage

  • Display ranges as percentage

  • Display target difference as percentage

  1. Start a new or open an existing dashboard.

  2. Select "Add tiles" to create a new tile. You can add the tile to the dashboard by either dragging the tile to the dashboard or double-clicking it.

  3. A side panel appears from the right side of the screen.

  4. Add a title of your choice. By default, it takes the name from the component.

  5. Click Add component to select a component.

    If you pick a non-numeric component, you’ll see an error in the configuration pane telling you to select a valid numeric component.

  6. Choose a visualization type from the Display as dropdown:

    • Angular (default)

    • Speedometer

    • Linear vertical

    • Linear horizontal

  7. Define the default range label and default range color (grey by default). These apply when no specific ranges are set.

  8. Enter the minimum and maximum values manually. These fields are required to define the overall range of your gauge.

  9. (Optional) Configure a Target value to represent desired performance levels:

    Set a single target value, or define a target range (min/max values).

  10. (Optional) Add Ranges to highlight performance bands:

    You can define as many ranges as you need, from zero to unlimited.

    For each range, you specify a minimum and maximum value, a label, and a color.

    When you add a new range, its minimum value automatically starts at the maximum of the previous range. If any ranges overlap, a warning appears. If you later change the global minimum or maximum values, you must adjust any ranges that fall outside of these limits before you can save.

You can choose how the gauge is displayed, depending on what you want to visualize:

Angular

A semi-circular gauge that emphasizes positive or negative outcomes. Use this when you want to quickly identify whether a value falls within an acceptable or critical range. Its compact layout allows multiple gauges to fit neatly on the same dashboard.

Speedometer

A circular gauge that shows a metric within a defined range. Use this when you want to highlight overall performance at a glance. The full dial makes it easy to see how a value relates to its range, ideal for single, high-level metrics.

Linear (vertical / horizontal)

A bar-style gauge that displays precise values along a straight line. Use this for exact measurements or comparisons across multiple metrics. Linear gauges are flexible for alignment with other dashboard elements and make it easy to read numeric values at a glance.
