Please can you make a video .. how we can copy a panel from existing dashboard. to another dashboard

[priyankareddy]

Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. It was very informative. I have one question : I want to add a column in the table which shows names of the nodes (for my blockchain network). The dashboard template I am using is Besu Overview by Grafana. How do I do it ?

[beatricefischer]

Wow, Julius, this was so helpful thank you!

One question though, can you set up alerts in Grafana to notify you when certain thresholds are breached for any of the metrics being monitored?

[malathifirequeen]

Hey hii
Can you just let me know if we can create an alert for jobs..
If the process doesn't complete on time can we create an alert which will notify the developer

[darkfury]

i did everything same but metrics does not match metrics in system monitor.

[manojputhiyetath]

Hello Julius, is it possible to delete one gauge out of the 3? we have a requirement that one gauge is shows the archived logs. we need the real time log to be displayed in gauge.

What distro/terminal application are you running here? I've not seen one like it before, I love how it uses arrows and stuff for the paths
