Grafana’s built-in “Dashboard” data source can only reference panels within the same dashboard → not across different dashboards. So to build an overview table pulling metrics from multiple dashboards, you must re-query Prometheus directly in your overview dashboard.

Find your exact metric names

Open any existing source panel → click Edit → copy the PromQL query shown. That is your base query for the overview.

Alternatively go to your Prometheus URL → Query tab → start typing your metric name → autocomplete shows all available metrics.

Create overview dashboard

Dashboards → New Dashboard → Add visualization → select Prometheus as data source → change visualization to Table (top right)

Add queries

Add one query per metric. For each query set:

  • Format = Table
  • Type = Instant

If you want one row per service add by (service) to your PromQL:

promql

sum by (service) (rate(your_error_metric[5m]))

Transform tab

Add → Merge series/tables

Then add → Organize fields by name:

Field overrides

Add field override for each column:

If you share your existing panel’s PromQL query I can write the exact query for your overview table
