## Templating
You can create a template variable in Grafana and have that variable filled with values from any Graphite metric exploration query.
You can then use this variable in your Graphite queries, either as part of a metric path or as arguments to functions.
For example a query like `prod.servers.*` will fill the variable with all possible
values that exists in the wildcard position.
You can also create nested variables that use other variables in their definition. For example
`apps.$app.servers.*` uses the variable `$app` in its query definition.
