Set Up Links Between Data Sources With the New Correlations Feature | Demo | Grafana 11.3

Oct 23, 2024 By Grafana In Grafana
Correlations is a feature that allows Grafana users to set up links between their data sources. Previously, the link generated would only be from one query to another—meaning results from a query could only generate links to open a second Explore pane with other query results. With this feature, users can now link to third party web-based software based on their search results. The format follows the standard Grafana format for using variables.
