Documentation Plugins Infinity data source Query Filtering data

Filtering data / Using template variables in Query

In order to filter the data in Infinity datasource, you can use the following options based on the parser you are using.

Note: All these filtering will happen after retrieving the content. For better performance, use the filtering at your API

Filtering with Backend Parser

When using the backend parser, use the following examples for filtering your data. In most cases you will be filtering data based on single value or multiple value variable.

Variable setup - single

Variable setup - multi

Without filter

With single filter

We are using the filter region == "${region}"

With multi filter

We are using the filter region IN (${region_multi:singlequote}) to show multiple regions

With multi filter (NOT IN)

We are using the filter !(region IN (${region_multi:singlequote}) to exclude multiple regions. As you see we use ! symbol before our condition

Filtering with UQL Parser

When using the backend parser, use the following examples for filtering your data. In most cases you will be filtering data based on single value or multiple value variable.

UQL - Without filter

uql Copy

parse-json
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - With single filter

uql Copy

parse-json
| where "region" == '$region'
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - With single filter (JSONata)

uql Copy

parse-json
| jsonata "$[region='${region}']"
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - With multi filter

uql Copy

parse-json
| where "region" in (${region_multi:singlequote})
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - Multi filter (JSONata)

uql Copy

parse-json
| jsonata "$[region in [${region_multi:singlequote}]]"
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - Multi filter (NOT IN)

uql Copy

parse-json
| where "region" !in (${region_multi:singlequote})
| summarize count("name") by "region"

UQL - Multi filter (NOT IN) (JSONata)

uql Copy

parse-json
