Creating template variable using Infinity Query

Like panels, you can have your own CSV/JSON in your variable. Variable queries are expected to return one or more columns. This will give you the ability to get your variables set from CSV/JSON/XML or any other external sources.

Note: If you want to have variables with different text than its value, then rename the columns to __text and __value respectively.

Note: It is always recommended to rename your columns to __text/__value when having more than 1 column in your variable query. Any other columns except __text/__value will be ignored when there are more than 1 column. This is useful in scenarios where backend queries require more columns to perform operations such as filtering but want to select only one column for variable.
