was trying to use PictureIt plugin. Found that for each sensor we have to create independent metric.  
can i have one single metric fetching multiple fields from InfluxDB and use each field in the sensors?  
Is this possible as per Grafana design?  
i feel fetching separate metric for each sensor will be performance intensive.

Also for each metric, separate unit and label would make it neat
