Chart Generation Guide This guide covers everything needed to create properly configured charts using the addcharttodashboard and editchart tools. chartbuildinghelp has the server's current reference. To make a chart filterable, define a template variable with setdashboardvariable, then reference it in the query as {{var}} (required) or \[\[ ... {{var}} ... \]\] (optional). See the dashboard-builder skill's "Dashboard template variables" section.
