I have a Grafana panel that display server states:
I need to give the servers human recognizable names like: "London", "Paris", "Milan", "Berlin", "Frankfurt" etc. (for example)
The panel definition is very simple:
This is the scrape example:
channel_sign_gauge{id="0001"} 0
channel_sign_gauge{id="0777"} 0
channel_sign_gauge{id="1000"} 1
channel_sign_gauge{id="2000"} 1
channel_sign_gauge{id="3000"} 0
channel_sign_gauge{id="4200"} 1
channel_sign_gauge{id="5200"} 1
I have defined dashboard variable "server_location":
How can I bind a server names variable to their indexes on the panel?
The question was cross-posted on Grafana community forum and receive acceptable solution using Field Overrides
section of panel definition:
Inside of panel definition this overrides results in this JSON section:
"overrides": [
{
"matcher": { "id": "byName", "options": "0001" },
"properties": [ { "id": "displayName", "value": "London" } ]
},
{
"matcher": { "id": "byName", "options": "0777" },
"properties": [ { "id": "displayName", "value": "Paris" } ]
},
...
{
"matcher": { "id": "byName", "options": "5200" },
"properties": [ { "id": "displayName", "value": "Riga)" } ]
}
]
Now I will collect all possible and potential server locations and create an overrides for each of them.
