Describe the feature and the current behavior/state.
Currently, many panels are impacted by the "Function" drop-down at the top of the page:
For example, see the following expr for a monitoring panel that references $func:
The selection of this function can have a big impact on the way the data in the panel is displayed. See two examples of the current behavior:
avg:
sum:
Since the function selection has some a large impact, it should probably be labeled somewhere on the panels that are impacted. Perhaps one of the following locations:
- Panel title: e.g. "Foreground Writes per DC (avg)" vs "Foreground Writes per DC (sum)"
- Y-axis label: e.g. "mwrites (avg)" vs "mwrites (sum)"
- Tooltip: e.g. "DC_name (avg)" vs "DC_name (sum)"
Who will benefit with this feature?
I think this enhancement would make many panels clearer for many users.
Any Other info.
