URL configuration methods

Configuration methods	Description
Full URL	Configure a complete URL. https://log.example.com/search?query=${instance}&from=${__from}&to=${__to}
Path only	Configure only the path part of the URL. The domain of the current page is automatically prepended during redirection. /logs/search?query=${instance}

This method can be used for scenarios such as switching global variables through links. ?query=${instance}&from=${__from}&to=${__to}

Variable types

Variable type	Description
Global variables	Usage: ${variable name}/${variable name:queryparam}. ${variable name:queryparam} is resolved to the format var-variable name=variable value. Examples: https://example.com?${cluster:queryparam}, https://example.com?cluster=${cluster}.
Built-in variables	${__url_time_range}: Retains the current time range. ${__from}: Start of the current time range. ${__to}: End of the current time range. ${__all_variables}: Includes all current variables.
Data context variables	warning Data context variables are currently supported only in data links. ${__series.name}: Series name. ${__field.name}: Field name. ${__field.labels.<labelKey>}: Field label value. This variable is available when a label exists and the VMP or APMPlus-Server data source is used. ${__data.fields.<DisplayName>}: Displays the value of another field in the same row. This variable can be used for chart types that display data by row, such as tables.
