Auto-resizing panels based on the content

[gayathrim]

Does anyone know if we have the option to “auto-resizing panels based on the content”. it is too clumsy in the panel if more rows are added.

It’s possible I don’t entirely understand - perhaps you could give a few more details on what exactly you mean by auto-resize – but in general grafana panels are sized & placed in the dashboard via a “grid positioning system”.

This doesn’t automatically adjust (other than at the CSS level; panels will change size as you resize the browser for example). I could imagine a lot of problems stemming from automatic adjustment based on how grid items “flow” down the page, so it’s tricky to imagine this working in a way that would be desirable.

But one other thing to mention - the grid positioning is editable via the dashboard JSON, see this other answer for an example - and code could interact with the HTTP API to do this sort of thing if it’s desirable.

Resizing Panels

All; I know that this is a simple question but here goes. In earlier versions of Grafana, when creating a panel, you were able to resize panels with an option in the ‘General’ section that took values 1 - 12 (I can’t remember the exact option name). I know that you can also resize a panel simply by dragging the panel across the dashboard. But is there any way to resize panels such that each one is exactly the same size as the others? Thanks; Frank

For instance, we have a panel with more rows, that looks too clumsy. ref the image
