Gauge's are a great way to visualise your performance budgets.
Setting up your Gauge
If you click on a Singlestat panel, and go into the panel settings.
- Click Show in the Gauge setting
- Set your threshold values. For example in the screenshot below you can see if the value is below 60 its red, if its between 60 and 80 its orange, anything above 80 is green.
Play around with extra settings to get the best visualisation of your data. For example if you click Threshold labels this will show the labels next to the gauge.
