Problem on creating Public Dashboard

Grafana Dashboards
1

What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

  • Grafana version: [Grafana version, v11.2.0]
  • Operating system: [ OS, Windows 10]

What are you trying to achieve?
I am trying to create a public dashboard in Grafana using a PostgreSQL data source with template variables.

How are you trying to achieve it?
I have designed a dashboard that uses PostgreSQL as the data source and includes template variables to make it dynamic. I want to make this dashboard public to share it with users who do not have Grafana accounts.

What happened?
When I attempt to make the dashboard public, I receive an error stating that public dashboards cannot be created when using template variables and PostgreSQL as the data source.

What did you expect to happen?
I expected to successfully create a public dashboard even with template variables and PostgreSQL as the data source.

Please help with the above

I have the same issue :slight_smile:

Same with Prometheus. I already saw a few threads discussing the problem :grinning: I’d be interested in any ETA for this feature. Public dashboards without variables are really painful.

The situation is even worse than I thought. If a panel uses a template variable, it will be not available at all. For some reason, I thought users just can’t change values.

Just a very bad workaround - using ad-hoc filters and save as a copy … If you see anything else, please share insights :slight_smile:
