variable in templating not working correctly, mabye filter not working (CloudWatch)

[phoppe93]

Hi Grafana Team,

i tried to use the templating function to define variable. The variable are needed in the next variable. When i select a stack the server list is not updating.

Query Option "On Dashboard Load" are for both variable active.

Is there a solution or a workarround for this issue ?

when you change the stack parameter can you have chrome dev tools open and inspect the network traffic? There should be a call to /api/tsdb/query , can you show the request body for that call (the first one if there are multiple)

the first one:

the second one:

@torkelo the instance id is always the same, doesnt matter what stack i choose

[torkelo]

what is the response from the first query? (the metricFindQuery) it should return an updated list of InstanceIds.

Are you using the $server variable in the graph metric query?

@torkelo

[torkelo]

and when you check the server variable dropdown does it not contain those new instance ids?

[phoppe93]

@torkelo its contain all instance ids but it have to filter the instance ids of the stack.

example:
dev-sensu
id: i-sensu-1 , i-sensu-2
dev-bastion
id: i-bastion-node

choose the dev-sensu stack the filter have to scrape and show only the instance-id (i-sensu-1 , i-sensu-2)

But right now its always showing all instance id`s like here in the snippet

DEV-LOGSTASH-KENESIS-INPUT have only 2 id (i-04e9318d743adc4da, i-06287b499d61d5718)

thats incorrect for me.

But the metric find query returned a lot more than the 2, so either bug in cloudwatch api or the filters are not sent to aws correctly, thoughts @mtanda?

I'll take a look.

@phoppe93 I want to know the Grafana version you use.

[phoppe93]

@mtanda
Grafana cli version 4.6.1

[mtanda]

@phoppe93 Thanks.
Your issue is similar to #9667 .
Would you try to upgrade Grafana?
