I have a Grafana dashboard and I'd like to define a variable for this dashboard. I'd like the values of this variable will come from LogQL query. To be more specific - in each log I have a field called "site_ids", and I want the values of the variable to be all the different "site_ids" (longs).
So I wrote this query:
{_namespace_="namespace",_schema_="schema"} | logfmt | line_format "{{.site_ids}}"
Which seems to work when I just run it in the query executor, this is the output (the actual site_ids):
0
-1
196
2
3
...
But when putting it as a query when I try to configure a new variable, I see nothing in the Preview of values:
Unfortunately I can barely find documentation about this..
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Use label_values like this Query Variable section
I am setting a Variable in Grafana.
I want to create a Query, that only returns a subset of the labels with value app the ones I want to return are those ending in dev
My Query so far, returns all of the labels with value app successfully. However, I have been unable to successfully filter the values so that only a-dev b-dev and c-dev are returned.
How do I successfully apply regex (or alternative) to this query so that I can see the desired values?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I eventually figured out what I needed to do. Originally I was trying to use | to run regex on the results from label_values.
However, this format worked:
label_values({app=~".*-dev$"}, app)
and returned only a-dev b-dev c-dev as expected.
I am working on a Loki-based Dashboard on Grafana. I have one panel for searching text in the Loki trace logs, the current query is like:
{job="abc-service"}
|~ "searchTrace"
|json
|line_format "{if .trace_message}} Message: \t{{.trace_message}} {{end}}"
Where searchTrace is a variable of type "Text box" for the user to input search text.
I want to include another variable skipTestLog to skip logs created by some test cron tasks. skipTestLog is a custom variable of two options: Yes,No.
Suppose the logs created by test cron tasks contain the text CronTest in the field trace_message after the json parser, are there any ways to filter them out based on the selected value of skipTestLog?
Create a key/value custom variable like in the following example:
Use the variable like in the following example:
I'm having trouble understanding how to create a dashboard time series plot to display a single key/value from a Loki log which is in JSON format.
eg:
here is my query in the Explorer:
{job="railsdevlogs"}|json
which returns log lines such as:

using |json will automatically create dynamic labels for all the key/values in the json log line:
gc_count = 123
os_Free_Virtual_Memory = 456789
etc.
Now I would like to plot one of these values in a grafana time series plot, but I am struggling to understand how to isolate one dynamic label and plot it.
Perhaps I'm using |json incorrectly. The documentation and examples I have read so far shows how to filter the logs using the dynamic labels, but I dont need that since I want to plot every log line.
thanks
I think this should help https://grafana.com/go/observabilitycon/2020/keynote-what-is-observability/ if you go to minute 41.
There's an example which is very similar to what you're trying to achieve.
Your query should look something like:
quantile_over_time(0,99, {job="railsdevlogs"}
| json
| unwrap gc_count [1m]}
by (job)
Summary
I'm trying to figure out how to properly use the OR | operator in a Prometheus query because my imported Grafana dashboard is not working.
Long version
I'm trying to debug a Grafana dashboard based on some data scraped from my Kubernetes pods running AppMetrics/Prometheus; the dashboard is here. Basically what happens is that when the value "All" for the server is selected on the Grafana dashboard (server is an individual pod in this case), no data appears. However, when I select an individual pod, then data does appear.
Here's an example of the same metric scraped from the two pods:
# HELP application_httprequests_transactions
# TYPE application_httprequests_transactions summary
application_httprequests_transactions_sum{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test"} 5.006965628
application_httprequests_transactions_count{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test"} 1367
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.5"} 0.000202825
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.75"} 0.000279318
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.95"} 0.000329862
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.99"} 0.055584233
# HELP application_httprequests_transactions
# TYPE application_httprequests_transactions summary
application_httprequests_transactions_sum{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv",app="MyApp",env="test"} 6.10214788
application_httprequests_transactions_count{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv",app="MyApp",env="test"} 1363
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.5"} 0.000218548
application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.75"} 0.000277483

application_httprequests_transactions{server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv",app="MyApp",env="test",quantile="0.99"} 0.097113234
I ran the Query inspector in Grafana to find out which query it is calling, and then ran the PromQL query in Prometheus itself. Basically, when I execute the following PromQL queries individually, they return data:
rate(application_httprequests_transactions_count{env="test",app="MyApp",server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv"}[15m])*60
rate(application_httprequests_transactions_count{env="test",app="MyApp",server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78"}[15m])*60
However, when I try to use PromQL's | operator to combine them, I don't get data back:
rate(application_httprequests_transactions_count{env="test",app="MyApp",server="myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv|myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78"}[15m])*60
Here's the raw output from Grafana's query inspector:
xhrStatus:"complete"
request:Object

I opened a GitHub issue for this as well; it has a quick GIF screen recording showing what I mean: AppMetrics/Prometheus#43
| is for regular expressions, PromQL doesn't have a | operator (but it does have an or operator). You need to specify that the matcher is a regex rather than an exact match with =~:
rate(application_httprequest_transactions_count{env="test",app="MyApp",server=~"myapp-test-58d94bf78d-l9tdv|myapp-test-58d94bf78d-jdq78"}[15m])*60
