- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
Grafana v9.5.21
- What are you trying to achieve?
Set a variable value or time window while viewing a panel, then return to main dashboard preserving that value. This was the behavior (I believe) on previous versions of grafana, but I cannot determine how to replicate it on grafana v9.
- How are you trying to achieve it?
- View a single panel in a grafana dashboard, having clicked “View” to make that panel occupy the entire screen.
- Based on observations from that panel, set dashboard-level variable
- Return to the full dashboard by clicking its name at the top left.
- What happened?
Upon returning to the main dashboard, the time window or variable value resets to the dashboard default.
- What did you expect to happen?
I expected the time window or variable value I had set to be preserved upon returning to the main dashboard.
- Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
I easily reproduce this on any dashboard.
- Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
No error; it seems to be a behavioral change across versions. I (and several teammates in a large organization) am trying to determine how to obtain the previous behavior, which we find extremely valuable while debugging outages.
- Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
No—I searched but did not successfully find any recipe.
