The code or logic you are describing involves creating a dashboard variable in Grafana, which can populate its values dynamically based on a list retrieved by JavaScript (from a custom business charts panel) that queries stores using a specific method (likely an MQL query).
Here’s what this process does step-by-step:
-
Run the Query Logic: The custom JavaScript section within "business charts" executes an MQL (or similar) query to retrieve a list or set of
stores. -
Expose the Set of Stores: This retrieved set is then made available in the business charts logic and can be returned or passed as a result for external usage.
-
Define a Variable in Grafana: You need to define a dashboard variable in Grafana's variable settings. The variable can either reference a custom variable source or directly use a plugin or script that fetches the list of stores from your code in business charts.
-
Dynamically Populate the Variable: Using a custom data source (like JavaScript or API integration), the variable should retrieve the set of stores dynamically at runtime and populate the dropdown options for your dashboard variable.
-
Affect Other Panels Dynamically: Once the dashboard variable is populated with the list of stores from the query, Grafana provides the ability to reference that variable (e.g.,
$store_variable) in other panels. This allows the selection of a store to filter or dynamically alter the content displayed in those panels.
In summary, the code provides a mechanism to bring a dynamic list of values (stores) from custom JavaScript logic into a Grafana dashboard variable. This variable can be used to interactively filter or modify panels based on the selected store(s). The key is configuring the variable in Grafana to pull its values dynamically from the JavaScript/logic you've described.
