Limit parameter for "hover tooltip" settings (feature request)

[lesovsky]

Hi,

I have graphs with high number of monitored objects and there is a nice parameter in graph settings - "Hover tooltip", which has sort order. It would be great to have "limit" parameter which can be useful in case when objects too much and user want to reduce their number in the tooltip.

In my case, I will be very happy if grafana able to reduce a list of object to 10, for example.
Please, add "limit" parameter to "hover tooltip" settings.

p.s.: grafana-5.2.1-1, prometheus datasource, centos 7 linux.

i even say more, add 2 limits:

• limit by number of entries
• limit by value range (eg: ignore < 10 and > 1M)

This because we may want to really cut a long list, but we may also want to just see spike values and we do not know directly how many series will spike at same time

I can create a new issue if you think this 2 should be different feature requests

I'm plotting a fixed-size set of metrics that potentially mutates over time, hence metrics may appear and disappear from one time tick to the next. For the sake of graph reliability, I'm using lines, stacking and null as zero options. So the feature requested here would really come handy for providing a truly meaningful hover tooltip.

add a limit by number of entries on tooltips is great for a panel with a lot of entities,

at now (9.2.0) the tooltips will fill the entire height of browser window which is block views
