What I want to do
In elsticsearch,
I want to display server information and server alarms on the same dashboard on Grafana.
Use elasticsearch as a data source, Grafana panels as "table”, and display them in “rawdocument”.
Server alarms display ranges in Grafana time zone designations
I want to display the configuration management information irrespective of the time zone specification of Grafana (and then want to filter by template and variables).
Task
One point is to display elasticsearch data regardless of the time zone specified in Grafana.
Just displaying it will only show the range specified by Grafana’s time zone, so you can not achieve what you want to do.
