#### Panel types for dashboards
The below panel types are supported in monitoring dashboards.
##### Area

```yaml
dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
panel_groups:
- group: 'Group Title'
panels:
- type: area-chart
title: "Chart Title"
y_label: "Y-Axis"
metrics:
- id: 10
query_range: 'http_requests_total'
label: "Metric of Ages"
unit: "count"
```
Note the following properties:
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
| type | string | no | Type of panel to be rendered. Optional for area panel types |
| query_range | yes | required | For area panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) |

- id: 10
