Single Value

The Single Valuewidget is a visualization tool that displays a single, focused metric or status indicator from your data. It's ideal for monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs), status checks, or important metrics that need immediate visibility.

Key features:

  • Displays one value at a time (numeric or text, like for example, the number errors per day or active connections to a system, or the word "Success", or a symbol)

  • Supports both static and dynamic real-time updates

  • Can show trends over time when used with timeChart()

For example, it can be used for tracking system health indicators like error rates and uptime percentages, monitoring service statuses and alert states, or measuring business metrics such as daily active users and transaction counts. In all these scenarios, the Single Value widget can provide a clear, at-a-glance information.

To represent single numeric values, you can also use a Gauge; however, the Single Value widget excels when you need clear, immediate visibility of a critical metric or status indicator.
