Using query variables as panel title

Grafana
#1

Hello,

is it possible to use variables (maybe the wording is wrong) from my query as panel title?
My datasource is CheckMK. Looks like this:

grafana_variable

From the example above I would like to use the data which is stored in Graph Settings >> Service field. Or the data which is in General Settings >> Host.

Regards
Sebastian

This should certainly be possible, if I understand correctly. Here is an example on our public sandbox instance. You will need to set a template variable based on a query, and then you can add variable foo as $foo in the Panel title:

Thanks for your answer. But I really don’t know how to implement this… maybe its just not the solution to my problem :smiley:

What I want to do is: In my case I want to use the selected service as title.
(In this case should the term “CPU load” be the title.)

Ah, ok, I understand.

I’m guessing that you are using this plugin?

if so, that’s a community built plugin. It looks like you want to use the value chosen in that select box as a template variable. This is probably achievable with a query-based template variable.

I would make an issue or ask for help in that plugin repo. They will have the expertise to get you unblocked here :+1:
