Dashboard Variables
Dashboard variables let you parameterize filters, bucketing, and grouping across multiple graphs. You can create and edit dashboard variables from the dashboard or graphing editor pages.
Variables support three types of suggestions:
| Suggestion | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Value | When creating the variable, you select a search key. The variable's input is a multiselect showing the possible values for that key. |
| Key | The variable's input is a select with all search keys. This is helpful for using a variable in function, grouping, and bucketing rules. |
| None | The variable's input is free text. |
Variables will appear in the graphing editor components wherever they can be used, including in the filter, function, grouping, and bucketing rules. To reference a variable, use a dollar sign followed by the variable's name, for example $user.
Variables can be multivalued, e.g. to filter all sessions by a list of users. When using multivalued variables, the resulting filter is a logical OR of all values. For example, email=$users is interpolated to email=(zane@highlight.io OR jay@highlight.io).
