Correct use of variables

[pete-leese]

Hi.

If I hard code a query for example

region="eu-west-1" it will filter as expected, however if I define a variable;

region="$region" then this does not work.

Can you please advise how this should work ?

[pete-leese]

looked at query inspector to see what is going on....

hard coded;

url:"api/datasources/proxy/2/api/v1/alerts?silenced=false&inhibited=false&filter=severity%3Dcritical"

using variable

url:"api/datasources/proxy/2/api/v1/alerts?silenced=false&inhibited=false&filter=severity%3D%7Bcritical%7D"

looks like its wrapping the variable value in { } and this is causing the query to fail

further investigation....

I have got variables to work but only when the following options are de-selected in the variable configuration;

Multi-value
Include All option

When either of these options are selected the query fails and wraps the values in { }

Any update on this @cryptobioz

I also have problems with it, multi-value variables not working

Your issue should be fixed by 54dd297.
To use multi-values variables, you will have to use =~ instead =.

@cryptobioz Can you make release with these fixes?

@R4scal Version 0.0.7 released, a PR is open (grafana/grafana-plugin-repository#365) to add it to the Grafana plugins' list.
