Variables: Assign Human-Readable Text to Variables

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to put in a variable a human compressible text instead of a default value? I have a variable that uses the name of the metric, my question is if it is possible to replace the actual value of the metric by one that anyone can understand:

dt.host.cpu.usage = % CPU used
dt.host.memory.usage = % Memory used

Thanks in advance

Victor

Hi
For such case, I would use 2 variables : 1 "visible" with readable choices and 1 "hidden" with the metric name to be used in the DQL tile
the second variable value depending on the choice of the first one
