The Canvas panel in Grafana, set to be generally available in Grafana 10, offers customizable visualizations by allowing users to explicitly place elements within both static and dynamic layouts, enhancing the flexibility beyond standard Grafana panels. Originating from a concept similar to the Windows Form Designer, the Canvas panel's stable core structure includes a scene class with a hierarchical element tree, where each element can be tied to data or fixed values. The development process involved significant decisions, such as using the Moveable and Selecto libraries and adopting Figma's constraint system for responsive design. Recent updates in Grafana 9.4 introduced features like connections between elements and data links, which enhance functionality and user experience by allowing more intuitive designs and comprehensive data integration. The Canvas panel's versatility extends its use beyond synthetic monitoring to applications such as office space occupancy tracking. Looking forward, Grafana aims to collaborate with the community to further develop the panel by potentially adding new elements, improving user experience, and integrating with other visualization tools, encouraging users to explore new creative possibilities.
