Hi @marcusolsson

When within a day there are more events than an hard-coded threshold, a 'more...' line is displayed.
When it happens, we can't see the others raw at all.

It will be really helpfull to be able to expand this 'more ...' line to show the full entries.

Actually, I've updated the related css overflow property to scroll in order to not miss any rows.

Possibility to show events from more than one calendar could be helpful - espacially in case of different colors of events. (same source but new column for "Calendar name" - group by or using more queries).

Hi

can be show to week view the Event name, start time - end time and location under Big Calendar.

see image sample. 3333e338888.jpg

thanks

Afternoon,

Is it possible to sync this plugin with an iCAL URL?

Sorry if mentioned elsewhere.

Thanks! So excited is possible as it may have changed how we do some displays at work!

In case of multiday event, If event starts in date, which is older than grafana filter, the name of event isnt shown.
Also, in my opinion could be helpful to show the event name on start of each week (in case of multiweek events).

Hello,
The plugin does not work with grafana 7.5 if the user is not logged in (viewer only).

The same grafana instance after login works fine.
Do you have any idea?

Currently one day events just get a colored bubble in front of the eventtitle. Mutiple day events are colored the entire eventitle. In my opinion, it would look nicer if one day events are colored the same way.

Maybe there should be panel setting to toggle between both modes for one day events.

We should add support for display the annotations in a given day as well.

It would be great to be able to show a hourly view of the calendar. This would be helpful for showing what times during the day are available/booked. Google Calendar call it "Day" and "Week" views. An example would be something like this:

Thanks! You've done great work on this. Been waiting for a calendar panel for a long time!

I'm trying to use the calendar panel to display some events.

In table view I have this

But when displayed in the calendar it looks like this

As you see there is no data for 2022-04-10 in the table view, but in the calendar view events are put on 2022-04-10.

What am I doing wrong. Is there an offset somewhere for visualizing the data on the calendar I need to set?

I was waiting for something like this for a long time. Are you planning to improve it? For me would be very useful possibility to show multiday events. Thanks and good luck...

We have a requirement to display multiple events per day but also have a threshold to color the text. For example we will show the number of available leave slots for Engineers and Programmers. So would need the calendar views to display

03 May 2022
3 Free Engineer Slots
0 Free Programmer Slots

Perhaps there is a way to accomplish this already but having 2 queries with the same alias as you can only select one field for text only applys thresholds to one item

Cheers

Lets say we have several nearby events:

• January 10, 2022 10:00 AM–January 11, 2022 10:00 AM
• January 12, 2022 10:00 AM–January 13, 2022 10:00 AM
• ...

In that case our calendar will show this:

It would be more usefull to show nearby events each after another, without overlay.

I get these errors while loading this plugin.

We are using calendar plugin and we see below functionality are not available. We would like to raise an improvement on it.

1. Coloring calendar record entries so that they display based on a metric value.
2. Missing override for cell display mode and other basic override options
3. Missing option to show more data when data overflows calendar frame
4. We need show more details when we click on any entry and it open another windows.

Please let me know when this will be available in calendar plugin.

Grafana version: 9.3.0
Grafana plugin : 1.0.0

We are using calendar plugin with grafana 8.4.5 OSS version. We created a dashboard using calendar plugin. In this dashboard if we select date range from top date selection less than last 2 years dashboard show calendar plugin with data. But when we select date range greater than last 2 years dashboard page gets into the unresponsive mode and we can do any operation on dashboard page.
Also data is not much big or consider there is no data prior to 3 months still calendar plugin does not load all the dates.
This issue observed for long date range only.

Expected behavior: Dashboard should show the data for complete date range selected by user.

  > A view like https://codepen.io/jaschulke/pen/qhGEp would be great. Even better with color chooser mentioned in #23

That would be a great solution. Please add this view to your Panel.

It would be great if one could select the color of the calender entries per query. Right now i have multiple queries defined and they are colored as green, yellow and blue. This seems to be default setting. But it would be nice to define a query as red ( e.g. for emergency changes or grey for 3rd party vendor changes...)

I ran into a problem that the regular expression that I use in override in Fields with name does not work, if I use a different visualization, for example, a regular table, then everything works without problems

My use case is I have a CRM with a dispatch portal that I can access via SQL. I get the following;

• Member_ID
• Schedule Description
• Schedule Start
• Schedule End

For the most part your plugin fits my requirements. But I'd like the following features;

• The ability to customise the text shown in the event bubble (i.e MemberID + Schedule Description)
• A day view (similar to the Schedule view in #9)

Thanks :)

Would it be possible to have an option to set the color of a series based on the query label?

Hi Volkov team,

Love the current calendar plugin but was curious to see if there were a way to adjust the events to where each events size on the calendar varied based on its duration. So for an example adding time from morning to evening on the left most side and a having a two hour event be a larger block on a day then say a one hour or 30 minute event.

There should be the possiblity to click on a calender entry and get more information for this entry like place, attendees, description. The information could be saved in the used datasource but in another field(s)

I've add to grafana alert rule and then it start displaying on my calendar, although the source of the calendar JSON API
Alert rule from Infinity. How can I hide these events?

Hi, I am a newbie to grafana. I downloaded the calendar plugin but after adding the panel to dashboard, the dimension fields - time and text are disabled. Also, on top of the panel it shows this error msg "Cannot read property 'fields' of undefined". Plz help.

As a creator of calendar events I would like to have a mechanism to add a Grafana Data Link to the calendar event so that I can use this mechanism to open associated applications/URLs. For example, let's say I have a calendar event that links to a Jira ticket (URL). As a User of the Calendar I would like to be able click the Data Link to open the Jira ticket in my web brower.

To let users structure their event descriptions better, it should support line breaks. Are there any other alternatives than \n (escaped \\n)?

We are receiving Kubernetes deployment completion status through grafana annotations api.
Are there any plans to add something to make annotations appear in the calendar panel but not alerts?

As you can see in the attached screenshot, the time series panel can only show annotations, but the calendar will always show annotations and alerts together.

This is quite inconvenient for users who use alerts a lot, and I think it would be better if only annotations could be displayed.

If there's a way to do this that I'm not aware of, please let me know.

Hello,
So far in our test we saw that by default today overflows and spills under in the view and we need to scroll to see it. The image is what we get when we load the dashboard

How is it possible to have a different view of the calendar? It is fine to have the last month, but the current week should be visible without scrolling.

As you can see, in the panel I selected 30d in the "Relative time" option.

Thanks,
Mirko

Hi Team,

Really appreciate the work on adding color functionality.

Have another curious issue, where there are massive gaps in days with multi-day events.
Pictured here with the red arrow I can confirm there are no events missing, there's just a big gap, that's taking up a whole bunch of space on the days, which means the calendar has to be massive to fit more than the top 2 or 3 events in.

Thanks again!

Grafana version: 9.3.6
Plugin version: 1.2.0

We are using calendar plugin with grafana 8.4.5 OSS version. We have created a dashboard using calendar plugin. We have observed sometime "N more..." button is not visible event if there are more than 2 data points on the same day.

In the above example where mouse cursor is there are some data point but more... button is not visible.

We had to increase the height of the panel to make it visible.

Can you please address this issue ?

Hey, thanks for the cool plugin first of all.
In my calendar, i have this setup where each column shows when a machine (e.g w11t3, w10t1) is occupied. The plugin apparently sorts the machine names based on if they have events at the same time.

Is there a way to sort the columns in alphabetical order?
So the order should be: w10t1, w10t3, w10t4, w10t6, w10t7, w11t1, w11t2, w11t3
instead of: w11t3, w10t1, w10t6, w11t2, w11t1, w10t7, w10t4, w10t3

Thanks for any help!

Grafana allows to select the Week Start - Default, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Calendar Plugins should match this setting.

I looked at the previous discussion https://github.com/marcusolsson/grafana-calendar-panel/discussions/12, but it's not clear what the status it.

I installed the recent 0.4 Version and now get the following error in the ui

Is there any new dependency needed?

This proposes to add a Schedule view which lays out calendar events as a vertical feed to make it easier to see upcoming events during the day.

Here's an example from Google Calendar:

Hi,

maybe I'm missing something and this is already possible but here is my case:
I would like to display a single value per day from a Flux query in the calendar.
Your calendar panel would be very useful, because it would allow intuitive
time range selection based on the contents of the calendar.
Is there a way to solve my use-case?

Hi,

We have webbased calendar connected to MySQL Database, i made a query to show in the Grafana Calendar it was successfully although i noticed that the start time and end time were wrong, I also changed the "Change time settings" but there was no change.

the start time and end time should be 11:00AM to 12:00PM

here is my query
SELECT title,start,end, location, creation_date FROM calendar_events ORDER BY creation_date

thanks in advanced

Hi,
I am facing this issue, where a day on calendar says "3 more..." where as actually that day only contains 2 events. Attaching SS here.

Also attaching sample dashboard JSON (convert .txt to .json).
Calendar Issue for ...more rows-1671445911766.txt

Plugin version: v1.0.0, v1.1.0

Discussed in https://github.com/VolkovLabs/volkovlabs-calendar-panel/discussions/40

When using the Grafana Timerange Today the calender shows the whole week. In our usecase its hard to read the entry titels. It would be better if there was a possiblity to show only one day when the timerange Today is selected

The current implementation has limitations, and instead of adding a day layout and other features, it's better to add support for another Calendar library.

Thanks again to the team on maintaining this plugin.

One other feature request that would be great, is being able to have event names span across multiple days.

As you can see in this screenshot, event names that are long get cut off, especially if the calendar is not full screen.
For us this means the calendar has to be on it's own dashboard because no other gauges will fit alongside it.

I suspect this might not be a quick fix - I see that each day has a separate box to represent the event, so spanning the text across multiple days could be tricky, but would be a very useful feature to have.

After successfully installing the plugin via CLI in Grafana v8.1.1 the plugin is listed as "Installed" but no panels are available to use inside dashboards

Some possibility of font settings (size, bold, ...) in events name? Thanks

I am using the Calendar plugin to display images stored in the databases and instead of opening a side panel with a data link inside, it will be great to just navigate to it.

Here is the screenshot:

Currently the timeframe shown for each calender entry is in 12h format like "11 AM - 1 PM". It would be nice if we can choose whether to use the 12h or 24h time format.

Does this amazing plugin have date click event?

So when I click on a certain date I can capture that date value

Again yet another amazing plugin from your team!!
