Is anyone using Status Panel with a Prometheus data source? I can’t seem to get it to display my query results. The same query works on a single status panel, and as far as i can tell there seems to be an issue with the plugin properly recognising the data source. Just curious if anyone out there is doing this already before i dig into the plugin code itself. ---

Just did a quick test and it seems to work with Prometheus. I think the Legend Format field has to match the alias field on the options tab. ---

Mine is really simple. Here is the metrics tab: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/2X/8/838ad4dc963c594b059a55a172e425ec3fbc8020.png) Here is the options tab. The Alias field is the important one: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/2X/5/5cbda17e4123313d8d0f7cd91beeee33a9c8d87b.png) ---

Continuing the discussion from [Status Panel with Prometheus](https://community.grafana.com/t/status-panel-with-prometheus/4243): When I try to use Status Panel w Prometheus, on the Options tab I only see the top 4 panels (Panel Options thru Other Options). I don’t see anything related to the alias (e.g. “ALERTS” in daniellee’s example from previous discussion). As near as I can tell, all of my settings are identical to daniellee’s example . What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any assistance! ---

Uh never mind – I think I figured out my issue. I was only working with one metric. When I added a second metric, THEN I saw the fields on the Option tab for that second metric. Same with the third and so on. Not sure why the first metric never shows. But as long as I have a dummy first metric, everything after that works fine. Thanks!
