To consolidate small series in a Grafana pie chart, you can combine them into a single category called "Other" or group them together based on a certain criteria. Here are the steps to consolidate small series in a Grafana pie chart:

  1. Identify the small series that you want to consolidate. These are the series with a small percentage of the total data that make the pie chart difficult to read.
  2. Group these small series together based on a common characteristic or category. For example, you can group all series that have a percentage below a certain threshold into a single category called "Other".
  3. Create a new query in Grafana that combines the small series into the "Other" category. You can use functions like alias or group by to group the series together.
  4. Edit the pie chart visualization in Grafana and update the query to include the new "Other" category that consolidates the small series.
  5. Adjust the chart settings to customize the appearance of the "Other" category, such as changing the color or label.
  6. Save the changes to the pie chart and review the updated visualization to see the consolidated small series in the "Other" category.


By consolidating small series in a Grafana pie chart, you can improve the readability and clarity of the visualization by focusing on the more significant data points and reducing clutter from small and insignificant series.
