Control round and decimal places in Gauge Visualization when using aggregate functions like average

[barrydegraaff]

Follow up from: #13985

Describe the feature:
When using the Gauge Visualization on a dashboard there is no way to control the amount of decimal places when used using aggregate functions like average. The format from the field set at index pattern is not respected.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
A simple dashboard to show average CPU and RAM percentage of the past 3 minutes, result in a display of 20%, 20.1%, 20.1234%

In this scenario I would like to display only 20%.

@barrydegraaff I checked this issue and I can propose two options:

• Withoud changing exists funtionality: Just change the default pattern for percent in Advanced settings (format:percent:defaultPattern). You can set 0% so that see only integer values.
• We can add functionality similar as in Field Panel. When user swith to percintageMode (as I understood you use this option in your gauge visualization) in options we will show input field where he can add format pattern only for this visualization.

What do you think?

Thanks, I did not realize that I could set the format globally via the Advanced menu. For me this is good enough at the moment. However I can imagine that there are situations where this is unwanted. So if the second option would be implemented it will IMHO improve the product!
