What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
7.5.7 -
What are you trying to achieve?
I want to automatically update a variable in a dashboard.
e.g. I have variable with a list of sites, site1 site2…
I have a dropdown that can select the various sites. But as sites are built/added to the system then I want this variable to be automatically be updated.
Si if site3 was built the dropdown would then show site1, site2, and site3.
Currently we currently have bot in Slack that listens for “site list” and when someone types that a python sript goes and gets that from the back end and outputs the list. I am thinking something along these lines in grafana. can this be done?

slack method for annotations which maybe related,
thinking a git approach might work, but won’t achieve full automation,
