Is it possible to return multiple options when querying an array of json, instead of a single stringified array, in the Grafana dashboard?

It affects the shape of the data in the variable, it appears with lists it presents an array whereas with JSON it's a flat string. When it's a query in a panel, you can apply transformations to the data (e.g. parse the json), not sure if that's doable with variables.

Hi @sam30606 - so when querying a variable, it just issues a raw query to Redis, the response you are getting from that query is the response from Redis, Redis responds with a bulk string to JSON.GET, so that's what you get back. When you do an LRANGE on the other hand, you get an array of bulk strings (they aren't encoded as numbers either). So here again the plugin is working as expected.

Thanks!
So, is the difference about how Redis responds to affect the present in Grafana dashboard?
