################### Modified version of SingleStat Panel ###################
SingleStatTDM is a modified version Grafana’s native singlestat panel. It is a part of TDM project, (link: http://www.tdm-project.it/) , initiative born thanks to the collaboration between CRS4 and the University of Cagliari. In this case, the goal was to show your current consumption with your average consumption, your maximum and minimum and also show your average consumption put in relation to the consumption of a given area.
Limits of native panel The original singlestat did not allow to obtain all dynamic value, the only dynamic value was the average (inserted through query), while the maximum, the minimum and the threshold values were inserted through the interface (statically).
What’s new This version of SingleStat Panel allows to insert 4 queries to manage data on Panel. This query allows to obtain all dynamic values: first query: retrieve the main value of panel second query: retrieve maximum value third and four query: retrieve average values or other significant comparison values
A legend has also been added for better understanding and the legend labels can be modified through the interface.

To use this plugin inside Grafana it is necessary to download it, unzip it and insert it into Grafana installation folder: grafana-5.4.2 -> data -> plugins To configure it on Grafana you need the support to a database as Influxdb or similar. After database configuration, the query must be entered as in the old plugin, but in this modified plugin 4 queries are needed.
