Business Variable for Grafana

This project was originally contributed by Volkov Labs — thanks for all your great work!

We have republished under the same plugin ID, keeping the community signature. This means you can simply update your plugin version. A new ID would have required manual updates to your dashboards. For additional information on the changes, see the Notices.

This project is currently maintained by Grafana Labs. We welcome pull requests and will review them on a best-effort basis. If you're interested in taking on this project long-term, contact integrations@grafana.com. We're eager to work with new maintainers and eventually hand over the project.

Business Variable transforms how you interact with Grafana dashboard variables. Place it anywhere on your dashboard and choose from multiple layouts, including an advanced TreeView option, to simplify filtering and boost usability.

🚀 Key Features

• TreeView: Hierarchical data visualization within Table mode for complex nested variables.
• Thresholds: Highlight statuses using data source thresholds for visual clarity.
• Variable Support: Handle single or multi-value variables with an "All" option.
• Filtering: Apply pattern-based or favorite-based value filtering to quickly find options.
• Sticky Positioning: Panel follows scrolling for easy access across long dashboards.
• Tabbed TreeViews: Organize multiple TreeViews into groups or tabs for better organization.
• Input Box: Support for text input variables with custom validation.
