    Hello,


    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    Unfortunately after evaluating, we found that the current Grafana plugin will not be able to support template variables, and would need to re-implement the whole Grafana plugin. Re-implementation of the complete Grafana plugin is currently not under consideration.

    While we see the use of this and will likely work on this later, this is not currently on our planned roadmap for 9-12 months
