====== Grafana dashboards can be irritatingly distracting ======

Every time a value (whether it's a singlestat number, or a graph, or indeed any other element you can put onto a dashboard) get updated in Grafana, there's a little circular symbol which flashes on and then off again in the top right corner of the value box.

I guess if you only update values once a minute, you can learn to live with it (although personally I'd prefer not to have to).


If you're updating values once per second, however, it's **really** annoying and distracting.

So, how do you turn it off?

a) you can't.

b) edit **/usr/share/grafana/public/build/grafana.dark.*.css** and find the string **fa-spinner:before{content:"\F110"}**.  Change it to **fa-spinner:before{}** and refresh your browser.
