GeoMap - Ability for users to search for a specific name of item on the GeoMap

[ozdeadmeat]

I have a GeoMap Dashboard of server locations for a game I play. I would like to search for specific server names or substrings of server names and have it return only the servers that match that string/substring.

maybe you can create a search box variable and use the value entered in the search box to filter on the influxdb side

or maybe have the business variable visual to use for search filter then select that filtered list to plot on geomap

Is there a tutorial to show me how to do that? I am still very green when it comes to Grafana.

1. create a dashboard variable
   

   

2. Text box
   

   

3. use it in your flux query as ${search} as wild card search filter
