+One template variable can be used to filter tag values for another template varible. Very importantly, the order of the parameters matter in tag_values function. First parameter is the metric name, second parameter is the tag key for which you need to find tag values, and after that all other dependent template variables. Some examples are mentioned below to make nested template queries work successfully.
