+## Templating
|
|
|
+You can create a template variable in Grafana and have that variable filled with values from any Graphite metric exploration query.
|
|
|
+You can then use this variable in your Graphite queries, either as part of a metric path or as arguments to functions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For example a query like `prod.servers.*` will fill the variable with all possible
|
|
|
+values that exists in the wildcard position.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can also create nested variables that use other variables in their definition. For example
|
|
|
+`apps.$app.servers.*` uses the variable `$app` in its query definition.
