How to hide panel by specific condition in grafana

Question

I want to hide some panel by specific condition in graphana. For instance, I have some variable in my dashboard and I want to change visibility of some graph if my variable is equal to some specific value. Is there any way to do this?

UPD: Using repeat panel option is not solution in my case, because this option just dynamically creates new panels. But I want to hide some panel by specific value of my variable, if variable is not equal to this value then the panel should not be hidden.

There's a Github Issue where many people are after the same thing - see https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/4470

There's no direct fix yet unfortunately, but there is something of a workaround/alternative, which I have described here: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/4470#issuecomment-2273061234

I'd suggest starting from HiddenWhenNoDataBehaviour(), and updating it from a "no data" case to the case you are concerned with. I realise many people won't want to or feel equipped to develop a React app, and deploy it into their Grafana instance however - sorry if this isn't for you.

I dont see an option to hide/show a panel with template variable, but instead you can create two dashboards and use dashboard links.

For example:

First Dashboard (Type A) Second Dashboard (Type B)

Create a Dashboard link "Type B" in First Dashboard pointing to second Dashboard. Similarly Create a Dashboard link "Type A" in Second Dashboard and point it to First dashboard.

Settings -> Link -> New Link -> Choose "Include time range" & "Include template variable value"

I have actually used this option because mine was just two variables so it was duplicating the dashboard to two and linking eachother.

If it is multiple values to show/hide, i recommend to achieve it via repeat options some how linking that variable in your query.
