What's the purpose of the QueryVariables in the dashboard settings for v0.5.1 ? After adding one and selecting a value nothing happens :thinking_face: There's also only like 10-15 values, while the data has over 100

Once you add the variables, you can use that variables in the queries. So for an example, if you add the variable with name `namespace` you can add a where clause in a query with something like this `where namespace = '$namespace'` $namespace will be replaced with the value selected in the dashboard. You can refer to this issue:

For the missing values, can you share anything that with and without variable, what is the difference you are getting?

Ohhh I see, Why isn't the `where clause` added automatically to each Panel? That's the way Kibana does it. I currently have like 8-12 panels, I will have to modify each one by adding custom queries to even try this out, this is not very UX friendly. I currently have a test environment with +100 containers sending data, when adding the QueryVariable to the dashboard only like 10-15 values show up, there's no way to type/search on that dropdown.

Thanks for the feedback, we are just getting started on this. We can definitely improve on that part. Can you create an issue for this?
