Grafana template variablesNavigation and filtering
Generated dashboards use consistent Prometheus datasource and service variables, then add dashboard-specific filters such as connector, endpoint, pool, storage, method, or status.
When to use
Use this page to understand the generated dashboard, its panels, and the signals behind them.
Behavior
- Variables are defined in
_lib.libsonnetand individual dashboard sources. Changing a variable updates every panel query on the page.
Common variables properties
Panels included in this dashboard.
`$datasource`PanelSelects the Prometheus datasource used by all PromQL panels.
`$job`PanelSelects the generated service job. It is restricted to the current service and uses a single selection.
Service labelsPanelReusable label variables can support multi-selection and an All value where comparison across instances or resources is useful.
Resource filtersPanelDashboard-specific variables narrow results by connector, endpoint, task pool, storage, route, RPC method, broker, or Temporal operation when those labels exist.
