Hello Grafana Community!
We’re excited to announce the release of TAVS Spinner Panel, a new plugin for Grafana that brings real-time animated spinners to your dashboards. This plugin is designed to help you visualize metrics like CPU load, session counts, or any other dynamic data in an intuitive and visually appealing way.
Key Features
-
Dynamic Animation: The spinner’s speed adjusts dynamically based on your metric values, providing instant visual feedback.
-
Customizable Design: Adjust the number of segments, rotation speed, line thickness, and colors to match your dashboard’s style.
-
Real-Time Updates: Perfect for monitoring live data with smooth 60 FPS animations.
-
User-Friendly Configuration: An intuitive settings panel makes it easy to customize every aspect of the spinner.
-

Use Cases
The TAVS Spinner Panel is perfect for:
-
Monitoring server performance (e.g., CPU load, memory usage).
-
Tracking active sessions or user activity.
-
Visualizing any numeric metric in a more engaging way.
Here’s an example of how it works:
-
When your CPU usage is low, the spinner rotates slowly and stays green.
-
As usage increases, the spinner speeds up and turns red when reaching critical levels.
