Newbie to Grafana, having added Prometheus metrics instrumentation to our software suite. Our metrics server pulls metrics from multiple instances of our system (e.g. multiple customers; systems).
I can/do label our metrics e.g ‘site’ = ‘Acme’ and what I’d like to do is create a dashboard which displays various data for a give value of “site”. Then I can simply replicate this for each site.
How might I achieve this kind of thing? Are there search terms I can look up, or any tutorials covering this sort of thing? Thanks!
Or do I have this backwards and instead of multiple dashboards, I should have one dashboard and use template variables (Templates and variables | Grafana Labs)
However it might be that my label values are not that useful. For instance if I have a label “site-id” I might want my drop-down to show prettified site names, is there any mapping allowed or does the exact value shown in the drop-down get used as-is? Not a huge issue, but nice to know.
