Escaping in entity names using variable cause incorrect lookups

[ninjaslothx]

Using an $entity variable in the query causes entities with a FQDN to have the periods escaped.

Reproduce: Have an entity with an FQDN. Create entity variable: QUERY API entity IN NAMESPACE $namespace SELECT metadata.name LIMIT 0

Create a new query:

Entity filter is not returned as expected. Query response shows the periods being escaped but the entity name is in a quoted string.

Object
request:Object
method:"GET"
url:"api/datasources/proxy/103/api/core/v2/namespaces/default/events"
params:Object
fieldSelector:"event.entity.name == "my-host-01\.mydomain\.org""
hideFromInspector:false
response:Array[0]

Hi,

you should be able to use the variable with Grafana's advanced variable formatting and force the raw value without any escaping: ${entity:raw}

That has resolved the issue! Thank you I was unaware of the advanced formatting.
