How to add a dropdown menu in Grafana?

Question

I need a way to add a Dropdown menu ( or similar solution ) to show the metrics for only one cpu ( cpu 1 or cpu 0 ). Is this possible? The metric is node_cpu_seconds_total

Create a custom variable named "cpu" with values 0 and 1 in Dashboard settings > Variables > New

Create the graph panel using the cpu variable (use the ":pipe" suffix to enable the use of 0 and 1 options at the same time)

The CPU can be selected in the dropdown menu

Is there a way to show that metric for only one node too? – xRobot Apr 26 '21 at 14:47

Check the syntax, maybe you wrote something wrong. You can select any label you want (instance, mode, etc) using the same strategy. – Marcelo Ávila de Oliveira Apr 26 '21 at 15:04
Do you have the "$instance" variable that I used in my example? I bet you not. Change to "localhost:9100" that exists in your case. – Marcelo Ávila de Oliveira Apr 26 '21 at 17:01
