Hi there, I was wondering if there’s a way to add labels to the thresholds in Time series panels.
Using colours such as green/yellow/red may work on most cases when their implicit meanings are just good/problem/big problem. However, I am developing a dashboard where it can be more nuanced, e.g. one of the thresholds is the design flow. To make meanings as clear as possible to users, I’d like to be able to either add an entry to the panel Legend or to the Tooltip, so that users know exactly what that value is.
Is there a way to do so at present, or anything in the pipeline?
(using v8.0.3)

I’m also interested in this. Right now I have to store the threshold value in Elasticsearch, then add a second query in Grafana that queries just this field. That way, it shows a straight line in the graph, just like a threshold, but I can add a label to it.

Yes indeed, I’m using InfluxDB and doing the same. It’s an ok workaround but seems to me like missing functionality.
Hey replying to a 2 year old thread here - how did you guys do this exactly? I am using PostgreSQL as my DB and I would also like a threshold line with a label, but I’m not sure how to just add a random value into my database and have Grafana graph it properly - do I only need one datapoint, or does it need to be periodically updated like the other timeseries?
