Text panel too large

[Knaky41]

Hi,

I've implemented the reporter with success with Grafana 4.X

I've migrated to V5, and I’m unable to set the size of the text panel, it takes a large space on the PDF.

I've tried to change the properties of the JSON dashboard but without success.

Do you have a solution to have the text panel to be as large as one line of text?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

I’ve had similar issues and it seems all of the panel values are hard coded for a certain height. I’ve been trying to work on a way to pass in height values for certain panels via the link URL but haven’t had much time. However I think if parameters like this could be added it would make it more customizable. panel_<panelName>_height=200 panel_text_height=200

Yes, the panels are currently hardcoded here. Single stat panels are rendered slightly smaller and all other panels are rendered in a size: 1000x500 (the default size when using the Share direct link rendered image from the Grafana UI).

I've done some quick tests using the Grafana UI: setting the height for text panels to 100 seems to work nicely. If the text block small, it doesn't render a lot of empty space. If the text block is large, Grafana ignores the hight restriction and renders it large enough to display all the text.

I will implement this improvement when I have some time.

Thanks for the quick answers :)

Could you please define how I set the text panels to 100?

Currently the height is hard coded (see the link to the source code in the previous post). Setting it to 100 will require source code modifications that I hope to get to before long.

If you don't want to wait, you can create a PR, making the changes at the location linked to above. You will have to add an if and the ability to test for text panels and set the height accordingly.

Ok thanks 👍

I'll wait for your clean version :p
