-# Panel types for dashboards (deprecated) **(FREE)**
+# Panel types for dashboards (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-The below panel types are supported in monitoring dashboards.
-
-## Area or Line Chart
-
-To add an area chart panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'

- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - type: area-chart # or line-chart
- title: 'Area Chart Title'
- y_label: 'Y-Axis'
- y_axis:
- format: number
- precision: 0
- metrics:
- - id: area_http_requests_total
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: 'Instance: {{instance}}, Method: {{method}}'
- unit: "count"
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | no | Type of panel to be rendered. Optional for area panel types |

-
-![area panel chart](img/prometheus_dashboard_area_panel_type_v12_8.png)
-
-Starting in [version 12.8](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/202696), the y-axis values scale according to the data. Previously, it always started from 0.
-
-## Anomaly chart
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/16530) in GitLab 12.5.
-
-To add an anomaly chart panel type to a dashboard, add a panel with *exactly* 3 metrics.
-
-The first metric represents the current state, and the second and third metrics represent the upper and lower limit:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'

- - type: anomaly-chart
- title: 'Chart Title'
- y_label: "Y-Axis"
- metrics:
- - id: anomaly_requests_normal
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: '# of Requests'
- unit: 'count'
- - id: anomaly_requests_upper_limit

- unit: 'count'
- - id: anomaly_requests_lower_limit
- query_range: 2000
- label: 'Min # of requests'
- unit: 'count'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | required | Must be `anomaly-chart` for anomaly panel types |
-| `query_range` | yes | required | For anomaly panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) in every metric. |

- - type: bar
- title: 'HTTP Handlers'
- x_label: 'Response Size'
- y_axis:
- name: 'Handlers'
- metrics:
- - id: prometheus_http_response_size_bytes_bucket
- query_range: 'sum(increase(prometheus_http_response_size_bytes_bucket[1d])) by (handler)'

-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For stacked column panel types, set to `stacked-column` |
-| `query_range` | yes | yes | For stacked column panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) |
-
-## Single Stat
-
-To add a single stat panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Single Stat'
- type: 'single-stat'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'max(go_memstats_alloc_bytes{job="prometheus"})'
- unit: MB
- label: 'Total'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------- | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For single stat panel types, set to `single-stat` |
-| `field` | string | no | Panels display the value of a metric. For a panel to display the value of a label instead, put the name of the label in this key. |
-| `query` | string | yes | For single stat panel types, you must use an [instant query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#instant-queries). |
-
-![single stat panel type](img/prometheus_dashboard_single_stat_panel_type.png)
-
-## Percentile based results
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201946) in GitLab 12.8.
-
-Query results sometimes need to be represented as a percentage value out of 100. You can use the `max_value` property at the root of the panel definition:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Single Stat'
- type: 'single-stat'
- max_value: 100
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'max(go_memstats_alloc_bytes{job="prometheus"})'
- unit: '%'
- label: 'Total'
-```
-
-For example, if you have a query value of `53.6`, adding `%` as the unit results in a single stat value of `53.6%`, but if the maximum expected value of the query is `120`, the value would be `44.6%`. Adding the `max_value` causes the correct percentage value to display.
-
-## Gauge
-
-WARNING:
-This panel type is an [Experiment](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#experiment) and is subject to change at any time
-without prior notice!
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/207044) in GitLab 13.3.
-
-To add a gauge panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Gauge'
- type: 'gauge'
- min_value: 0
- max_value: 1000
- split: 5
- thresholds:
- values: [60, 90]
- mode: 'percentage'
- format: 'kilobytes'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'floor(max(prometheus_http_response_size_bytes_bucket)/1000)'
- unit: 'kb'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For gauge panel types, set to `gauge`. |
-| `min_value` | number | no, defaults to `0` | The minimum value of the gauge chart axis. If either of `min_value` or `max_value` are not set, they both get their default values. |
-| `max_value` | number | no, defaults to `100` | The maximum value of the gauge chart axis. If either of `min_value` or `max_value` are not set, they both get their default values. |
-| `split` | number | no, defaults to `10` | The amount of split segments on the gauge chart axis. |
-| `thresholds` | object | no | Thresholds configuration for the gauge chart axis. |
-| `format` | string | no, defaults to `engineering` | Unit format used. See the [full list of units](yaml_number_format.md). |
-| `query` | string | yes | For gauge panel types, you must use an [instant query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#instant-queries). |
-
-### Thresholds properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| values | array | no, defaults to 95% of the range between `min_value` and `max_value`| An array of gauge chart axis threshold values. |
-| mode | string | no, defaults to `absolute` | The mode in which the thresholds are interpreted in relation to `min_value` and `max_value`. Can be either `percentage` or `absolute`. |

-## Heatmaps
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30581) in GitLab 12.5.
-
-To add a heatmap panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Heatmap'
- type: 'heatmap'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'sum(rate(nginx_upstream_responses_total{upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"}[60m])) by (status_code)'
- unit: req/sec
- label: 'Status code'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For heatmap panel types, set to `heatmap` |
-| `query_range` | yes | yes | For area panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) |
-
-![heatmap panel type](img/heatmap_panel_type.png)
-
-WARNING:
-When a query returns too many data points, the heatmap data bucket dimensions tend downwards to 0, making the chart's data invisible, as shown in the image below. To fix this problem, limit the amount of data returned by changing the time range filter on the metrics dashboard UI, or adding the **step** property to your dashboard's YAML file.
