Mapping one variable to multiple values generally available
Mapping one variable to multiple values generally available
Earlier this year, we introduced multi-property variables in public preview for Grafana OSS and Enterprise (and generally available in Grafana Cloud). Now, this feature is generally available in Grafana OSS and Enterprise.
Multi-property variables are a simple, powerful way to let you map several identifiers to a single variable using a JSON array. Instead of creating and keeping multiple variables for the same logical concept in sync (for example, an environment identified as “dev” vs “development”), you can map all of those identifiers to one variable and then reference any property you need in panels and queries. This reduces dashboard clutter and makes multi-source dashboards much easier to author and maintain.
This feature is supported for the Custom and Query variable types. For query variables, you can create multi-property variables for Infinity and PostgreSQL data sources.
