Gauge visualization

Select the Gauge option from the visualization dropdown in the upper left.

Queries should return one table

Flux does not guarantee the order in which tables are returned. If a query returns multiple tables (or series), the table order can change between query executions and result in the Gauge displaying inconsistent data. For consistent results, the Gauge query should return a single table.

To view Gauge controls, click Customize next to the visualization dropdown.
