Share query results between panels

The Dashboard data source lets you select a panel in your dashboard that contains the queries ‌you want to share the results for. Instead of sending a separate query for each panel, Grafana sends one query and other panels use the query results to construct visualizations.

To share data source queries with another panel:

1. Create a dashboard.
2. Change the title to “Source panel”. You’ll use this panel as a source for the other panels. Define the or queries that will be shared. If you don’t have a data source available at the moment, then you can use the Grafana data source, which returns a random time series that you can use for testing.
3. In the Use results from panel list, select the first panel you created.

You can click on any of the queries to go to the panel where they are defined.
