The problem with all these UI panels is that they keep changing with each version. What was shown in the video refers to the now outdated UI. The new Grafana looks different, which is at least frustrating for a beginner (to whom this series is addressed). A more stable way of controlling these settings would be useful, through the terminal and API—something that doesn’t undergo constant changes.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for the tutorial, kindly let me know how have you collected data from microbs as data source since from video it is not evident or clear.
