Speed up your dashboard workflow with dynamic template variable syntax

What's this blog post about?

Template variables in Datadog have been enhanced with the $tempvar.value syntax, allowing users more control over tag filtering and data visualization. This dynamic syntax enables users to select multiple sets of tag values using a single key, unify data from different tagging conventions, and simplify network traffic queries. By attributing template variable values as partial strings, users can consolidate their template variables and reduce the number needed for dashboard filtering. The new feature is available to all Datadog customers without additional configuration.
