Using multiple dashboard panels as input for new panel doesn't update correctly

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Grafana version v11.6 and v12.0.1 on InfluxDB v1.8 Ubuntu

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I want to use multiple panels as a data source for another panel. This works correctly.

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    Using the panels as a data source and using transformations to do data manipulation and calculate the wanted information.

  • What happened?
    When selection a new time slice the panels do their queries and this takes some time. However the panel that uses the other panels as its source doesn’t wait for the source panels to all complete their updates. And then displays the “wrong”/“old” information. An additional Refresh solves the issue gives the right information.

  • What did you expect to happen?
    I expected the “slave”/“child” panels to wait for the “master”/“parent” panels to complete their queries and transformations before they update their information.

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
    That is very large JSON file :slight_smile:

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
    No

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
    No
