- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
grafana 7.5.11
debian 9
- What are you trying to achieve?
Use Expression math along with a query that uses $variable.
- How are you trying to achieve it?
I created query “A” and query “B”, which use data from mysql. The sql queries use $variable.
Query “A”:
SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(cast(mplayers.registration as date)) as time_sec,
count(*) as value,
'регистраций_новых_людей'
FROM players as mplayers
WHERE mplayers.registration BETWEEN cast($__timeFrom() as date) + interval 1 day AND cast($__timeTo() as date) + interval 1 day $filter
GROUP BY time_sec
ORDER BY time_sec ASC
Query “B”:
SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(cast(mplayers.registration as date)) as time_sec,
sum((`mplayers`.`last_online` > (`mplayers`.`registration` + interval 1 day))) as value,
'зашел_через_24_часа_и_более'
FROM players as mplayers
WHERE mplayers.registration BETWEEN cast($__timeFrom() as date) + interval 1 day AND cast($__timeTo() as date) + interval 1 day $filter
GROUP BY time_sec
ORDER BY time_sec ASC
These sql queries use the grafana-variable $filter.
This variable is equal to the value “and multi = 0”.
Both queries work.
I also created an expression math “C” which equals “$A + $B”.
- What happened?
Graph “C” is not displayed, and graphs “A” and “B” disappear.
- What did you expect to happen?
I was expecting to see a C and A and B chart.
- Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
- Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
In grafana 7.5.11 there are no errors in the GUI or in /var/log/grafana
But I tested grafana 8.2.5 and this problem is present there too. So, on version 8.2.5 in /var/log/grafana the error is displayed:
