I didn’t see it in the V7 release notes and wondering if it’s going to be available in the near future?

Could you give some more details on what date format you’re referring to? Where’s is being used, and what would you like to see instead?

Dates on graphs are US format and need them in UK / AUS format so as not to confuse. Can’t find a where to change this and does not use local settings.

We’ve been migrating the panels to our new React-based architecture for Grafana 7.0, but due to its complexity, the we weren’t able to migrate the graph panel for this release. For this reason, it didn’t receive any updates to note.

We’ll work on migrating it over the coming months, but I can’t give you a date at this time.
