[Visualization] Need a new visualization type 'Status Panel' to display status or strings

[vinaydhegde]

Describe the feature:
Just like Visualization type 'Metric', which is used for displaying numeric values, we need a new visualization type for displaying the strings or status.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
For example, we would like display the status of PostgreSQL server (like UP or DOWN). If I use, a Metric visualization type, I can only display the numbers.

Hi @vinaydhegde, you can actually use 'last value' operation to display a string. I'll close this issue but feel free to reopen if your usecase includes something I missed.
If you need to display the string up when the value of the field is 1 and down when it's 0, you can use runtime field for it.

Hey @mbondyra,

The request wants to use keywords but allow the ability to dynamically change the color based on the value. Like for example, "up" = green or "down" = red.
