Grafana in Factry Historian | Shared Queries

This video walks through the use of shared queries in Grafana — a powerful way to streamline dashboard creation and maintenance in industrial environments. Rather than repeating the same query logic in every panel, shared queries allow teams to define it once and reuse it wherever needed. This boosts consistency, especially when multiple people are contributing to dashboards.The tutorial shows how to create shared queries within the Grafana UI, how they integrate with Factry Historian’s time-series data sources, and how to structure them for reuse across lines, shifts, or sites. It also touches on best practices for naming, parameterization, and troubleshooting when query complexity grows.For teams managing dozens of dashboards across assets or facilities, shared queries become a force multiplier — enabling both standardization and flexibility.
