# Google Cloud Monitoring template variables
|
|
|
|
Instead of hard-coding details such as server, application, and sensor names in metric queries, you can use variables.
|
|
Grafana lists these variables in dropdown select boxes at the top of the dashboard to help you change the data displayed in your dashboard.
|
|
Grafana refers to such variables as template variables.
|
|
|
|
For an introduction to templating and template variables, refer to the [Templating][variables] and [Add and manage variables][add-template-variables] documentation.
|
|
|
|
## Use query variables
|
|
|
|
Variables of the type _Query_ help you query Google Cloud Monitoring for various types of data.
|
|
The Google Cloud Monitoring data source plugin provides the following **Query Types**:
|
|
|
|
| Name | List returned |
|
|
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| **Metric Types** | Metric type names available for the specified service. |
|
|
| **Labels Keys** | Keys for `metric label` and `resource label` in the specified metric. |
|
|
| **Labels Values** | Values for the label in the specified metric. |
|
|
| **Resource Types** | Resource types for the specified metric. |
|
|
| **Aggregations** | Aggregations (cross-series reducers) for the specified metric. |
|
|
| **Aligners** | Aligners (per-series aligners) for the specified metric. |
|
|
| **Alignment periods** | All alignment periods available in the query editor in Grafana. |
|
|
| **Selectors** | Selectors for SLO (Service Level Objectives) queries. |
|
|
| **SLO Services** | Service Monitoring services for SLO queries. |
|
|
| **Service Level Objectives (SLO)** | SLOs for the specified SLO service. |
|
|
|
|
## Use variables in queries
|
|
|
|
Use Grafana's variable syntax to include variables in queries.
|
|
For details, refer to the [variable syntax documentation][variable-syntax].
