## Query filtering in data source plugins[​](#query-filtering-in-data-source-plugins "Direct link to Query filtering in data source plugins")

Over the years, query filtering and hiding in data source plugins has been causing confusion among developers and users. In Grafana 11, we're introducing a few [changes](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/84656) that addresses this.

### Responses associated with hidden queries will be removed automatically by Grafana[​](#responses-associated-with-hidden-queries-will-be-removed-automatically-by-grafana "Direct link to Responses associated with hidden queries will be removed automatically by Grafana")

Responses that are associated with queries where `hide: true` will be removed by Grafana. Queries where `hide: true` will still be executed unless they're prevented from it in the data source `filterQuery` method, but the associated responses will no longer be passed to the panel. To align the UI with this behaviour, the tooltip in the query editor row is changed from `Disable query` to `Hide response/Show response`.

### The `filterQuery` method will be called before the `query` method[​](#the-filterquery-method-will-be-called-before-the-query-method "Direct link to the-filterquery-method-will-be-called-before-the-query-method")

For data sources that extend `DataSourceWithBackend`, the `filterQuery` method is now called **before** the data source `query` method. If the `filterQuery` method assumes that some kind of query migration happens before this method is called, you now need to do the migration inside this method.
