dashboards with tag wildcards / all / everything

[unusualevent]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If I start out with 5 tags, and make a dashboard, then later add 2 tags, you'd need to add those tags to the dashboard.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to have a way to specify "all tags". e.g. @ everything, * or something else.

Describe alternatives you've considered It might be possible to, /by hand/, list all tags in one tab and add them to /every/ dashboard widget (which gets larger the more widgets you have and the more tags you have)

Additional context I think this project is cool. Is that additional context? 😅

Could you give an example why you need to regularly add tags. This could probably be restructured to prevent this problem from occurring.

[unusualevent]

e.g. just after a day of using it, I have all-new tags.

so, the target audience for this bug would be "new/fresh users of the software"

[jmattheis]

could you give an example? normally you timespans with multiple tags on it, so adding all tags to a dashboard entity seems like misuse.

[unusualevent]

normally you what?? building dashboards isn't illustrated anywhere as a best practice.

[unusualevent]

I was trying to reproduce the dash shown in screenshots.

[unusualevent]

hmmm, it's possible that you expect people to make dashboards of "type:{a}" where each line is the thing, instead of "{any tag}:{anything}"

that doesn't seem very clear up front.

e.g., I was making tags like:

"project-a:{subcomponent}" "project-b:{subcomponent}"

if the dashboards are limited to only being able to interpret one prefix at a time, that changes how you'd make tags and how you'd make dashboards.

[unusualevent]

I think it's also that, given that limitation, I have no idea what the core tag prefixes would end up being.

[jmattheis]

You could do it like this:

project:a subcomponent:one
project:b subcomponent:one
project:a subcomponent:two

Each line would be different time span.
