[Feature Request]: Add a way to increment __panelId__ parameter dynamically
Feature Request
I create alert rules dynamically and I link alerts to a dashboard panel dynamically as well. I use a system of inventory which is a file in json containing a list of each instance of an alert (for example a list of multiple servers with their name, disk, ram and cpu threshold). As of today, I only have 3 possibilities to make this work :
- Create a dashboard with panels side by side and incrementing the panelid by 1 each time ( when I only have one rule block in grafana_rule_group resource that I instantiate by looping over the list)
- Create a dashboard with rows that have exactly the same number of panel. In that case I can increment the panelId in each of the rule block (1 by panel in the row) by using a modulo to always find the right paneIld (basically it's list Index * number of panels in row + place in row)
- Create a dashboard that use the panelId parameter in the list (which is not really practical when I need to do changes)
The problem comes when I have a dashboard with multiple rows that are not exactly the same. For example if I have a dashboard with disk, cpu and ram and I want 1 of the servers to have an alert on its network traffic, it breaks the modulo and I can't set the PanelId dynamicaly anymore.
What I need is a way to set PanelId dynamically when using multiple rule blocks and each instance of an alert should have the knowledge of the previous value of panelId.
