Status

A Status chart displays a single metric as a health state using text and color. Use it to show UP/DOWN/OK style states based on thresholds.

A Status chart displays a single metric as a health state using text and color. Use it to show whether something is UP, DOWN, OK, Warning, or Critical. You define these states using threshold rules.

It’s ideal for:

  • Service health

  • SLA status

  • Error rate checks

  • Queue depth

  • Availability

  • Latency thresholds

What a Status chart represents

The chart evaluates one numeric value and maps it to a status rule.

Your data typically looks like:

value → threshold rules → text + color

This produces a single tile like:

UP (green)

Configure a Status chart

Set Chart type to Status. Then pick the numeric column to evaluate. Optionally enable custom rules for text and colors.

Status configuration options

Use these options to control how the Status chart renders.

Option
Purpose

Chart type

Must be Status.

Select column

Numeric metric being evaluated.

Custom config

Enables threshold rules.

Condition

Logical check operator (>, <, >=, <=, =). *evaluated in-order

Threshold

Comparison value used by the condition.

Text

Label shown on the tile (for example UP).

Color

Tile color when the rule matches.

Common Select column values:

  • value

  • availability

  • error_rate

  • latency

  • queue_depth

Key rules:

  • Status evaluates a single numeric value.

  • Turn on Custom config to define rule-based states.

  • Rules are evaluated top-to-bottom (in order).

  • The tile uses the first rule whose condition is satisfied.

  • Add a “default” rule last, if you need one.

Example (rule order matters):

  • value > 90CRITICAL (red)

  • value > 80WARNING (yellow)

If value = 95, the chart shows CRITICAL (not WARNING).

When to use a Status chart

Use Status charts when you want to:

  • Show a single health signal at a glance

  • Convert a metric into a readable state

  • Build dashboards for on-call or NOC views

They’re not a trend visualization. Use a line/area chart to show change over time.
