I'm fairly new to grafana and I am confused how to solve this elegantly:
I have a custom dashboard variable ["device1", "device2", "device3"].
I know how to use the $(variablename) Syntax to query for the currently selected option.
But in an overview dashboard I want to query for all 3 devices from the variable.
Is there a way to use the actual array instead of the currently selected option in queries?
Or is there any other way that I could define a set of values per org by which I then can query?
Thx

I am using Grafana 9.3.1 for monitoring of our system. Among other things, I am trying to monitor the remaining FUP of a phone number for each unit we operate.
Basically, we intend to use two data sources.
Database mapping of the unit ID to its phone number (e.g. "unit_id=123, phone_number="00 123456789")
Prometheus time series remaining_fup{phone_number="00 123456789"}. However, remaining_fup is a 3rd party data and does not include unit_id.
In my unit-detail dashboard I have unit_id variable which indicates which unit FUP should be displayed (among other things depending on unit_id)
My original approach was this:
Create a mixed datasource dashboard
Add database datasource as data A. SELECT phone_number FROM units WHERE unit_id='$unit_id'
Add prometheus datasource remaining_fup and filter it based on A.phone_number: remaining_fup{phone_number="${A.phone_number}"}
Unfortunatelly such use of A isn't supported. I used to hope for applying some transformation like Merge or Join by field and then Filter but with no success. After a lot of googling and trying I feel hopeless.
Could you help please? Is such filter even possible? Thanks!
TL;DR: In grafana dashboard I want to query one datasource in order to obtain a value which I subsequently want to use in another datasource query.
1.) Create variable - name phone_number, type: Query and query your database datasource SELECT phone_number FROM units WHERE unit_id='$unit_id'. You can hide this variable if you don't want it to be visible for the dashboard users.
2.) Variable phone_number may have multiple values, so use advance variable formatting to create valid regex query syntax for your prometheus datasource, e.g.
remaining_fup{phone_number=~"${phone_number:pipe}"}
Of course this queries are just examples and they may need some (syntax) tweaking for the use case. Main idea: don't use 2 queries, but one variable and one query (where you use that variable).
I am using Grafana and InfluxDB with K6. My tests are generating data for some metrics and I am always defining a test-wide tag testrunname which is set to a different value every time.
In Grafana, I want to add a variable in my dashboard, and I want it to be one of all the available values so far added for the tests that I run. Basically the dropdown will have to display all the values of tag testrunname available in the database.
Not having much luck so far.
How to achieve this?
The query is:
SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = "testrunname"
From documentation.
I write the query below to get the up time for the microvices.
base_jvm_uptime_seconds{kubernetes_name="namepspce1"}
However, it returns multiple values, so the grafana returns "Only queries that return single series/table is supported". I am wondering how can I the first velus from the query result?
I tried base_jvm_uptime_seconds{kubernetes_name="namepspce1"}[0], but it doesn't work..
Thanks!
I suggest you first inspect the label values of these multiple time series by running the query in Prometheus Graph console.
The you'll need to decide which one you want to display. Random first usually isn't the best idea.
But you can always do topk(1,query) if it helps. Just turn the Instant mode on in the Grafana Query editor.
I feel like I'm trying to do something incredibly simple, but I just can't find any cogent explanation anywhere on the internet after an hour of searching.
I'm using InfluxDB/Grafana and I have a DB with several tables. My tables have a tag key named "host" so that I can tell which server the data is coming from.
I want to create a dropdown on my dashboard so that I can select which host's data is displaying on the panels. Is there any way to do this?
Create dashboard variable from the query
SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = "host"
and use it in the panel query. It is documented in the Grafana doc:

Does anyone know if there is a wildcard character in AppMaker that can be used for all possible values for a field in a query?
I currently have a datasource that is being filtered based on the status using a multi-select widget. What I would like to accomplish is when all values have been de-selected I want to load all the records of that datasource without clearing the entire query in case other filters have been applied. I have it working in-a-sense that I have to explicitly construct my query as such:
widget.datasource.query.filters.Status._in = ['Status Value 1','Status Value 2','Status Value 3']
My current solution is loading the correct data when a value is selected and it correctly shows the union of the query as the values are modified. However, it selects all of the values in my multi-select; which I know is how it is supposed to work.
I tried using widget.datasource.query.filters.Status._contains = ''; and changing the assignment value to no avail. I even tried the opposite approach using _notContains
The intended outcome is to have a filtering dashboard appear much like any website where when no filtering is selected all records are displayed. I was hoping to find a wildcard character that would load all of the records. Just trying to find a way to mimic other website filters with all records when none are selected.
Thanks for the time!
So the easiest solution here is to set up your Multiselect as follows:
Options binding:
#models.YourModel.fields.Status.possibleValues
or if you don't have the possible Status values in your model then set your options binding to:
['Status Value 1','Status Value 2','Status Value 3']
Values binding:
#datasource.query.filters.Status._in
Now anytime you select any choices in the multiselect, the query will only include records that include the selected choices. And if you deselect all choices the query will ignore that filter or treat it as an empty array of values, therefore returning all records unless you applied other filters.
