Grafana Catalog

The plugin was updated in Grafana Catalog on March 13, 2023.

Time Range and Zone

Added Time Zone and Range parameters allow displaying selected time zone using custom handlers.

Here is an example of how to display the selected dashboard, browser time zone and range in Grafana.

Content

<h2>Dashboard {{tz}}</h1>
<h2>Browser {{browser}}</h1>

```json
{{{json (range)}}}
```

JavaScript Code

handlebars.registerHelper('tz', () => timeZone);
handlebars.registerHelper('range', () => timeRange);
handlebars.registerHelper('browser', () => Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone);

Dynamic Text allows displaying updated time zone and range in Grafana.

Replace Variables

Replace variables functionality was updated to use the scoped function and support repeat panels.

Dynamic text panel provides a helper {{variable}} to work with the dashboard and global variables. Alternatively, you can create a custom Handlebars helper to introduce additional logic and formats.

Content

- Native helper **{{variable "test"}}**
- Custom helper **{{myVariable "test"}}**

JavaScript Code

handlebars.registerHelper("myVariable", (name) => replaceVariables(`$${name}`));
