Shaping Data with Grafana Transformations
Now that you understand how to connect data source queries to visualizations, we’re going to take a step back and look at one of the key features in Grafana’s visualization pipeline: the DataFrame. A DataFrame is an object that contains data received from a data source query and provides the source data for visualization.
In this chapter, we will learn more about DataFrames, their role in how Grafana visualizes data, and how to manipulate them using Grafana’s transformation operators. We will cover the following topics:
- About Grafana DataFrames and transformations
- Exploring the various transformation functions
- Expanding analysis with a transformation
- Chaining transformations into a visualization pipeline ...
