What do you think about the newest features? What else you would add to the Variable panel?

[nimaforoughi]

That is amazing!
Just a feature request: to support new items in variables. For example if the variable is returning 3 key values, I would like to add a 4th value by typing down live in the variable.
It is possible to do so in the original grafana variable, but limited to the top of the screen only.

Great tutorial! The coloration is such a neat feature.
Also would love to see a more in depth video about setting up timescale extension on postgresql for timeseries data.

Здравствуйте!
Спасибо!
Интересное решение. Однако, панель "Display mode" - > "Minimize", совсем не подходит для множественного выбора. Если названия длинные, то всё это скапливается в окне переменных. Увеличивать панель с переменными я не могу, т.к. нужно место для графиков. Было бы очень здорово, если бы панель при множественном выборе работала как выпадающий список, где галочками отмечено, что выбрано. А когда выбор закончен, то в окне переменной вместо всех выбранных вариантов писалось бы только два слова "Множественный выбор". Таким. образом не нужно увеличивать панель с переменными при росте сущностей.

P.S.
Базовое отображение переменных (без плагина) в этом плане удобнее, т.к. добавить и убрать можно в выпадающем списке.

Great video!
How could it be used for when not all levels have the same depth? How should the table structure be?

Hello,

I appreciate your work and it is quite amazing what you have developed so far. I would like to know how to obtain the dashboard_uid to switch between dashboard using the variable panel.

Thanks for the plugin! Is there a way to change the background color of selected option in button display mode? The selected button is barely visible in both dark and light themes.

Variable panel seems to very interesting feature for Grafana. For me it's enough feature for this plugin.

[vasimtana-go]

Try '$variablename' in this format. I have faced the same issue, if i understood right.

Great video! Very usefull feature.
I just can't get to variable connected, I tried it like you with a WHERE statement but it just doesn't connect. Maybe you have an answer

That's so useful. Is there a way to show alternate field of the query in dashboard, where we select the TEXT field but on selection we have an ID value selected
