Grafana

Hi all

I need some guide in using datasource variables with infinity datasource.

I created 3 datasources with different url endpoints (e.g api-example-dev com/). I already created the variable but need help on how to use them in the url or query (json).

example of the url

https://api-example-dev.com/products

https://api-example-stage.com/products

Goal: to select each env from a dropdown and display the products panels. Thanks for in advance

the __text column is what will be displayed when using ${envs:text}

the __value column is what will be displayed when using ${envs:value}

Then you use the variable as follows

I actually got it by adding a new ds connection and then created a datasource variable. thanks for the support
