Share a panel

To share a panel:

  1. Click a panel title to open the panel menu.
  2. Click Share. The share dialog opens and shows the Link tab.

The Link tab has the current time range, template variables and theme selected by default. You can optionally enable a shortened URL to share.

To share a direct link:

  1. Click Copy. This copies the default or the shortened URL to the clipboard.
  2. Send the copied URL to a Grafana user with authorization to view the link.

For more information, refer to the topic Image rendering.

Here is an example of a link to a server-side rendered PNG:

Query string parameters for server-side rendered images

  • width: width in pixels. Default is 800.
  • height: height in pixels. Default is 400.
  • tz: timezone in the format where HH and MM are offset in hours and minutes after UTC
  • timeout: number of seconds. The timeout can be increased if the query for the panel needs more than the default 30 seconds.
  • scale: numeric value to configure device scale factor. Default is 1. Use a higher value to produce more detailed images (higher DPI). Supported in Grafana v7.0+.

You can publish snapshots to your local instance or to . The latter is a free service provided by Raintank, that allows you to publish dashboard snapshots to an external Grafana instance. You can optionally set an expiration time if you want the snapshot to be removed after a certain time period.

To publish a snapshot:

  1. In the Share Panel dialog, click Snapshot to open the tab.
  2. Click on Local Snapshot or Publish to snapshot.raintank.io. This generates the link of the snapshot.
  3. Copy the snapshot link, and share it either within your organization or publicly on the web.

If you created a snapshot by mistake, click delete snapshot to remove the snapshot from your Grafana instance.

You can embed a panel using an iframe on another web site. A viewer must be signed into Grafana to view the graph.

> Note: As of Grafana 8.0, anonymous access permission is no longer available for Grafana Cloud.

  1. <iframe
  2.   width="650"
