I appreciate the videos, but would be nice if some of them would dive deeper. I struggle to this day to use nested Variables and I'm pretty and how to reference Query elements in the dashboard views, like tables and graphs, for example.
Suggestion: increase the detail of the explanations, dive deeper, stay calmer, reduce the entertainment clutter: waving of hands, the disturbing 80's gaming sounds and the background music.
Thank you so much for the observation @aubrya1470 ! Indeed you are right, use your variables with $VarName, ${VarName} or ${VarName:} as indicated in the documentation: grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/variables/variable-syntax/ The video was cut a bit early with the typo made while creating it even as it was corrected right after it was cut out. Do not use [ nor ]. Thanks! :)
Regarding non labeled fields- when choosing adhoc filter as a variable for the dashboard, i don't see them in the list. Only labeled one. Is there a way to have adhoc filters to all fields?
Thanks for the question @avrl12 At the moment fields have to be labeled because currently there's no way to configure that in Variables settings. Please let us know if you have further questions :)
Hello, I'm interested in creating custom variables for my project. Specifically, I'd like to incorporate a date picker as a variable. I'm planning to develop a panel plugin with this feature. Is there a method to integrate it into the type dropdown within the variable section and display the date picker
Thank you so much for the comment and question @shakiddoe! Currently there is no variable with a date picker, as generally that is worked with the 'time picker dropdown' for the dashboard. There are many workarounds to what you are proposing, but writing a plugin is a bit deeper and may require more details. We would invite you to come to the Grafana Community Forum, and post about this proposal and details your question. A nice section to post it would be specific in the community plugins. Here is the link for ease --> community.grafana.com/tags/c/support/33/community-plugins Please let us know of any other details :)
i'm trying to use the password element in the business forms to create a login function for the user that will return data that is filtered for that user. can i use variables to store the username as a variable and then use the variable in a query? how will i store, and reference a variable in a query though?
I am using the infinity plugin to hit a URL, that returns a JSON. I would like to extract one of the fields in JSON, and insert it into another URL on a click event. Click event will display a detail table of the parent record.

Should I move to code mode for variable mapping for a DB sourced dashboard ? What I need is simply showing date range filter I use in query builder to end users. When I choose between option I can select a date range, but I would like to leave it to dashboard end user (in public view mode). I can do it by coding, but I'm curious if there's any way to map variables to query builder params.

What I did currently is, used text variables and coded sql part as `CREATEDON BETWEEN '$startDate' AND '$endDate'`. However, it's not showing a proper date picker and I lost declarative query view.

furthermore it's not working in public dashboard. "Template variables are not supported This public dashboard may not work since it uses template variables"
These videos go into exactly as much depth as to not be useful at all. After the intro I thought, maybe I'll have a good idea how to make easily parameterizable template dashboards for different OSes/exporters, but after watching to the end, I still don't know if that's even possible… :/
@@Grafana No worries, I'm already amazed by how much the Grafana team manages to juggle. Currently I'm just lacking a good source of information that is somewhere between the brevity of these videos and the docs that can be pretty hard to parse at times.
This is the first functionality I've attempted. Not only is this video useless and too brief but the UI/UX of your tool is horrid. It's been downhill since this video.

@@Grafana native American English speakers please.
@@garypaduana62 The CC button is for people like you. Other people don't need it to be in "English (simplified)" to understand it.
@@erlandodk No, native American English presenters are for people like me. Know your audience and who your paying customers are.
@@garypaduana62 The US is not the only country in the world and americans are not the only paying customers.
There's an issue in one of the example. It should be ${names} not ${name]

Stop the zoom-cuts! It's almost giving me a seizure. It's unbelievably distracting!
Does anybody in the US use this software?

Thanks for your feedback. Which specific sections would you prefer to have more of a deep-dive on?
not very useful..
This platform is pretty garbage imho.
Pretty useless.
