Optimizing API calls from `/series` to `label/values`
Loori-R opened this issue · comments
Problem:
The efficiency of the Grafana dashboard is deteriorating due to the use of the suboptimal /series API call. A more effective approach would be the use of the label/values call.
Solution:
To improve performance, it is necessary to adjust the logic for determining which API to use. It is important to minimize the use of the /series call in favor of more efficient methods.
Addition:
It may also be beneficial to implement a selector for choosing variable types, similar to what is used in Prometheus. This will allow for more accurate and efficient API interaction.
@hagen1778, what do you think about implementing a query type selector, as mentioned in the Addition section?
The enhancement has been included in victoriametrics-datasource v0.8.0.
