6.03L Dynamic panels based on variables 2 - MartinWong06/grafana GitHub Wiki

  1. Define a variable: Go to the dashboard settings and click on "Variables". Click on "New" to define a new variable. Choose the type of variable (e.g. query), set the query to retrieve the options for the variable (e.g. list of servers), and set any other relevant options.

  2. Use the variable in a panel: Create a panel (e.g. a graph) and use the variable as part of the query. For example, if the variable is a list of servers, use the variable in the query to retrieve the data for the selected server.

  3. Repeat for multiple panels: Repeat step 2 for multiple panels, each using the variable in a different way.

  4. Save the dashboard: Save the dashboard and test the dynamic panels by selecting different options for the variable. The panels should update based on the selected option.

    Overall, the process involves defining a variable, using it in one or more panels, and then controlling panel visibility based on the variable. This allows for dynamic panels that update based on the selected option for the variable.
