Templated dashboards

[Tenzer]

We have one dashboard which show general metrics for each server collected with collectd. It is set up as a templated dashboard where we pick the name of the server we want to get the metrics for. Having an ability to specify a value for a templated dashboard would allow us to use this dashboard for all servers and specify that ie. want metrics for the "nginx" server.

I assume it would have to be specified as a key=value pair, since there may be multiple values for a templated dashboard.

Interesting. Do you have any ideas on how you would want to interact with the robot for those?

I guess being able to add key=value somewhere after the dashboard name would work. The parsing of parameters could however become a bit cumbersome.
Perhaps it would be easier to extend if everything following the slug:pid is splitted be spaces and then tested against if it contains an equals sign? If not, then the first one is assigned to the from variable and the second to to?
