Grafana Version - Grafana v10.0.2 (b2bbe10fbc)
Operating System - Windows 11
-
What are you trying to achieve - I want to use Regex / Substring operation on a Template Variable called $SerialID
-
How are you trying to achieve it - 1. I created a TextBox Template variable with the name SerialID which takes a 16 character user input. 2. The database source is Elasticsearch logs. 3. I need to extract substring from index 5-12 of the 16 character $SerialID value, and then use it to query a field called “id”.
-
What did you expect to happen?
This is what I have -
And this is something I am trying to achieve - I want either substring or regex here
-
What happened?
If I have a look at the query inspector - It does not recognize the variable when substring is used -
But it recognizes its value normally without the substring operation -
-
Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were. - No errors by Grafana - just the fact that I am not able to do a basic regex on a template variable and would love to know how to write a query properly for ElasticSearch DB
-
Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
I also saw something like this -Elasticsearch template variables | Grafana documentation
But I haven’t quite understood how it works or how to form my query based on the explanation above.
