Data links result in empty values for certain URL variables

Grafana Data Links
1

I am baffled by this behavior. I have a data link A in dashboard A where there are some template variables X, X, Y. When I hover over the data link url, is see it looks perfect. For example:

https://myaccount.grafana.net/d/aebiq07x48tmoa/dashboard-b?from=now-1h&to=now&timezone=utc&var-A=33&var-B=1&var-C=9)

But, when I click the link and dashboard-b opens, the url bar in the browser randomly presents some of the url variables with empty values. Like this:

https://myaccount.grafana.net/d/aebiq07x48tmoa/dashboard-b?from=now-1h&to=now&timezone=utc&var-A=&var-B&var-C=9)

Here, the values for A and B are now empty but C and the timestuff is ok.

Any ideas on why this happens? It is not always the same A, B, or C values that show up empty. Sometimes they are all ok and dashboard-b works.

Thanks!

We are using Grafana cloud. It does not present any “About…” options that I can find like the local hosted server version does.

curl -s “$GRAFANA_URL/api/health” | jq -r ‘.version’

I’m having this issue as well. Grafana version: grafana/grafana-enterprise:latest, which Docker resolves to Grafana v11.5.1 (c6c701cf5b).

The issue is not intermittent, but persistent for some data links. Other links, from the same dashboard, work well.
