With the Grafana 12.4 update, suddenly the automatic text size of Stat panels are very small, compared to before (stat panels are the three leftmost panels in the first row). See screenshot:
Previously (in 12.3.X) the automatic text size was more sensible, and more like the Gauge percentages.
It seems there was added some unnecessary padding, which makes the text extremely small. Can this somehow be fixed? Thanks.
It seems a temporary solution is here: Panel title bar takes up excessive vertical space in v12.4.0, breaking readability of small panels (Stat, Gauge) · Issue #119150 · grafana/grafana · GitHub
Add the following to grafana.ini:
[feature_toggles]
newPanelPadding = false
This fixes the issue for now, but maybe not a viable solution in the long term.
Setting text size isn’t particularly useful, since it’s only absolute values. If text size could be set in relatives (like 150% of default), then it would make a little more sense, but you can’t.
