2.4 Creating a New Panel (existing data)

What

Dashboard panels can use existing FileWave Inventory Reports (formerly Queries) as their data source. The panel uses the report rows directly, so this method is best for table panels and does not aggregate values.

When/Why

Use this when a report already shows the device or inventory data you want to share on a dashboard, such as a list of macOS clients. The dashboard panel gives that report a shared Grafana view without rebuilding the report logic.

How

When creating the panel, choose FileWave Tabular Datasource for the panel query. FileWave makes Inventory Reports available automatically through that datasource. The walkthrough below shows a table-based panel built from a report that lists macOS clients.
