Variables: Adds named capture groups to variable regex (#28625)
* Dashboard: Add named capture groups to variable query regex

Variable query regex are able to use 'text' and 'value' named capture
groups to allow for separate display text to be extracted from the
query result. e.g.

Using a regex of /foo="(?<text>[^"]+)|bar="(?<value>[^"]+)/g on a query
result of metric{foo="FOO", bar="BAR"} would result in the variable
value being set to 'BAR' but display text being set to 'FOO'

Resolves #21076

* Improve regex capture group documentation

* Update docs/sources/variables/filter-variables-with-regex.md

* Use text capture if value capture does not match

This is to keep the behaviour consistent with the current behavior. See
discussion https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/28625/files#r516490942

* Improve regex field placeholder and tooltip message

To make the feature more discoverable to users the place holder example
now includes the named capture groups. The tool tip message also
includes a reference and link to the documentation.

Building the docs locally

When you contribute to documentation, it is a good practice to build the docs on your local machine to make sure your changes appear as you expect. This README explains the process for doing that.

Requirements

Docker >= 2.1.0.3 Yarn >= 1.22.4

Build the doc site

  1. On the command line, first change to the docs folder: cd docs.
  2. Run make docs. This launches a preview of the docs website at http://localhost:3002/docs/grafana/latest/ which will refresh automatically when changes are made to content in the sources directory.

Content guidelines

Edit content in the sources directory.

Use the Hugo shortcode relref any time you are linking to other internal docs pages.

Edit the side menu

Edit sources/menu.yaml to make changes to the sidebar. Stop and rerun the make docs command for changes to take effect.

Add images

Images are currently hosted in the grafana/website repo.


Deploy changes to grafana.com

When a PR is merged to master with changes in the docs/sources directory, those changes are automatically synced to the grafana/website repo and published to the staging site.

Generally, someone from marketing will publish to production each day: so as long as the sync is successful your docs edits will be published. Alternatively, you can refer to publishing to production if you'd like to do it yourself.
