I want to automatically rotate through all the hosts in grafana dashboard

Grafana Configuration
1

Hello Grafana community,
I am new to grafana and learned through youtube how to setup grafana with prometheus and node-exporter.
I also got two dashboards (for which I have to find their IDs).
What I would like to have is that grafana is rotating through the hosts automatically lets say ever 3 / 5 minutes.
How can I do that using one dashboard?
I found playlist, but that is for using several different dashboards.
Thanks

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

  • What are you trying to achieve?

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

  • What happened?

  • What did you expect to happen?

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?

I would suggest creating a dashboard that has a variable called “Server”. Now you can call this dashboard and pass the Server in the URL. Use some sort of java-script-based url rotator/refresher to call the dashboard with different Servers in sequence.

Hello yosiasz,

In total I do have two dashboards. But I like the one showing many information per hosts. I do have 9 hosts, but only 1 can be shown. I want to find out on how to rotate in that dasboard trough the 9 hosts every n time-intervall.
The name of the dashboard is node-exporter-full Node Exporter Full | Grafana Labs

and as you can tell I am new to grafana and dashboards
Thanks

that would require using plugins that use javascript. but if you do not have that kind of experience that would next to impossible to get what you want unless ypu learn js

for example business chart aka apache echart
