Time independent variable on grafana dashboard

Grafana
1

Hi All,

I am creating a grafana dashboard and currently stuck on variable functionality.

I need to have a variable on my grafana dashboard that is independent of the time-range.
The variable should show all the label values that shouldn’t change either on time-range or on dashboard reload.

any help on this will highly be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

you can create a custom or a constant variable, these are not impacted by the date and time pickers

Thanks for the response @sowdenraymond

but custom or constant variable doesn’t fit into my requirement
my requirement is to get all the active instance from backend.

I have created a query variable to fetch list of active instances but the the list is getting refreshed on dashboard refresh.

I want to load all the active instances
