Hi everyone,
I struggle with a variable configuration and I’m not sure there’s actually an answer to that.
I have a variable (let’s call it $db_value) which is used for making querries on some panels on a Postgresor Prometheus DB - that is OK. The only thing is that this $db_value variable is not meaningful.
Let’s assume the possible values of the variable $db_value are:
db_value_1
db_value_2
I see two possible solutions to “translate” these not meaningful values to something else:
1. Another variable with IF condition
The idea would be that I create another variable, called $meaningful_value, with values:
meaningful_value_1 (that corresponds to db_value_1)
meaningful_value_2 (that corresponds to db_value_2)
And I would like to write something like:
IF $db_value = db_value_1 then $meaningful_value = meaningful_value_1
ELIF $db_value = db_value_2 then $meaningful_value = meaningful_value_2
But I have any idea on how to do it - any help?
2. With a label on variable value
I’ve seen we can label variable name to make it more understandable, but in that case I would like to label the variable value itself and I want this label to appear in the dashboard dropdown list.
Assuming we know what will be the exhaustive list of values of our $db_value variable
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot for your help !
