Apply Dashboard Filters

Filters allow you to reduce data displayed on a dashboard and to look at a subset of your data across all widgets simultaneously. Unlike parameters , filters operate as global dashboard-level constraints. You can save filter configurations as presets to quickly switch between different views of the same dashboard for various environments, systems, or customers.

To apply a filter to your dashboard:

  1. Click the No filter dropdown → Open filters panel

  2. In the Dashboard filter field, enter a filter expression: it will be prefixed to all queries of all widgets on the dashboard. For example, you can use filter expressions such as:

    logscale
    env=prod or
 in(service, values=["nginx", "mysql"])

    as opposed to aggregate functions like groupBy() and timeChart().

  3. Click Apply filter to run the filter on the running dashboard, or Save... to save it for future use.
