I would like to create a drill down in my bar chart, so I could click on the individual bars, and be sent to a new site with a variable set to the name of the bar; ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/9/0/9092ea3d13ab79fce79e1880c3696ea303d014ec.png) Here’s an image of the bar graph. What I want is to be able to insert for example node-test-100 in a link when I click on the far left bar. Is this possible? ---

i think you can do that using datalink options > **[Configure data links | Grafana documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/panels-visualizations/configure-data-links/)** > > Configure data links You can use data link variables or data links to create links between panels. > Data link variables You can use variables in data links to refer to series fields, labels, and values. For more information about data links, refer to... quick example of use from me in my case i have to do it with override option to be able to target specific table column “id” reference of ticket. i use it in link to redirect to ticketing tool ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/5/b/5b2f162c30ceea75d2c8146219a0622cee86c9ad.png) use data value like in the doc : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/3/8/38f2ae607e43f73af37d63403dc0023864695f0b.png) hope it’s help ---

on hover and click you should see something like that on your graph bar like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/c/3/c371e58a1ac86cf133418a13f5a309869e63e664.png) what is grafana version ? do you using timeseries panel or barchart panel? ---

Yeah, for some reason it doesn’t work for me. My company might be using a older version of grafana? ---

maybe that’s why i ask , you can see it on your profile button on bottom left. would you try with a simpler example ? you can use dummy data source like me “TestData DB” , this is a special data source (built-in) made for that.
