Apologies all - I’m a Grafana nooby, so this is probably really basic, but any help would be much appreciated!
-
What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
Grafana Version 9.5.1, Windows Server 2016 -
What are you trying to achieve?
I am trying to get the dashboard to display time varying data, with reference to a user selected variable. However the user variable displays as the tag title, e.g.:"SSE_BEAU4_BG1:VR_VA_400.ang"
Whereas I’d like it to display as a more user freindly way, e.g.:
"Beauly 400kV"
-
How are you trying to achieve it?
Under Dashboard Settings → Variables, and Custom Options, I have tried to list the variable as:label("Beauly 400kV", SSE_BEAU4_BG1:VR_VA_400.ang) -
What happened?
The entry in the variable drop down box appears literally as “label(“Beauly 400kV”, SSE_BEAU4_BG1:VR_VA_400.ang)”, and it fails to query the underlying data source correctly. -
What did you expect to happen?
I’m trying to get the selected variable to reference the underlying tag, and pass that to calculations carried out elsewhere in the dashboard.
