Section-level variables for rows and tabs now generally available
Earlier this year we announced the addition of section-level variables for rows and tabs. This feature is now generally available.
If your dashboard includes both an API gateway and a database, changing something like an $instance variable affects all panels at once. To avoid this, you might have to split services across separate dashboards, which defeats the goal of having a unified view.
Section-level variables address this by letting each row or tab have its own independent filters. For example, an API gateway row can use one set of instances while a database row uses another, all within the same dashboard and sharing the same time range.
