docs: use persistent links to Grafana dashboards
These links do not depend on the dashboard name, so they do not break after the renaming of the dashboard.

<h3>Tutorial for WITH expressions in <a href="https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html">MetricsQL</a></h3>
<p>
Let's look at the following real query from <a href="https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/1860">Node Exporter Full</a> dashboard:
</p>
<pre>
(
(
node_memory_MemTotal_bytes{instance=~"$node:$port", job=~"$job"}
-
node_memory_MemFree_bytes{instance=~"$node:$port", job=~"$job"}
)
/
node_memory_MemTotal_bytes{instance=~"$node:$port", job=~"$job"}
)
*
100
</pre>
<p>
It is clear the query calculates the percentage of used memory
for the given $node, $port and $job. Isn't it? :)
</p>
<p>
What's wrong with this query? Copy-pasted label filters for distinct timeseries
which makes it easy to mistype these filters during modification.
Let's simplify the query with WITH expressions:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
commonFilters = {instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"}
)
(
node_memory_MemTotal_bytes{commonFilters}
-
node_memory_MemFree_bytes{commonFilters}
)
/
node_memory_MemTotal_bytes{commonFilters} * 100
</pre>
<p>
Now label filters are located in a single place instead of three distinct places.
The query mentions node_memory_MemTotal_bytes metric twice and {commonFilters}
three times. WITH expressions may improve this:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
my_resource_utilization(free, limit, filters) = (limit{filters} - free{filters}) / limit{filters} * 100
)
my_resource_utilization(
node_memory_MemFree_bytes,
node_memory_MemTotal_bytes,
{instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"},
)
</pre>
<p>
Now the template function my_resource_utilization() may be used for monitoring arbitrary
resources - memory, CPU, network, storage, you name it.
</p>
<p>
Let's take another nice query from <a href="https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/1860">Node Exporter Full</a> dashboard:
</p>
<pre>
(
(
(
count(
count(node_cpu_seconds_total{instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"}) by (cpu)
)
)
-
avg(
sum by (mode) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode='idle',instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"}[5m]))
)
)
*
100
)
/
count(
count(node_cpu_seconds_total{instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"}) by (cpu)
)
</pre>
<p>
Do you understand what does this mess do? Is it manageable? :) WITH expressions are happy to help in a few iterations.
<br/>
<br/>
1. Extract common filters used in multiple places into a commonFilters variable:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
commonFilters = {instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"}
)
(
(
(
count(
count(node_cpu_seconds_total{commonFilters}) by (cpu)
)
)
-
avg(
sum by (mode) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode='idle',commonFilters}[5m]))
)
)
*
100
)
/
count(
count(node_cpu_seconds_total{commonFilters}) by (cpu)
)
</pre>
<p>
2. Extract "count(count(...) by (cpu))" into cpuCount variable:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
commonFilters = {instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"},
cpuCount = count(count(node_cpu_seconds_total{commonFilters}) by (cpu))
)
(
(
cpuCount
-
avg(
sum by (mode) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode='idle',commonFilters}[5m]))
)
)
*
100
) / cpuCount
</pre>
<p>
3. Extract rate(...) part into cpuIdle variable, since it is clear now that this part calculates the number of idle CPUs:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
commonFilters = {instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"},
cpuCount = count(count(node_cpu_seconds_total{commonFilters}) by (cpu)),
cpuIdle = sum(rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode='idle',commonFilters}[5m]))
)
((cpuCount - cpuIdle) * 100) / cpuCount
</pre>
<p>
4. Put node_cpu_seconds_total{commonFilters} into its own varialbe with the name cpuSeconds:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
cpuSeconds = node_cpu_seconds_total{instance=~"$node:$port",job=~"$job"},
cpuCount = count(count(cpuSeconds) by (cpu)),
cpuIdle = sum(rate(cpuSeconds{mode='idle'}[5m]))
)
((cpuCount - cpuIdle) * 100) / cpuCount
</pre>
<p>
Now the query became more clear comparing to the initial query.
</p>
<p>
WITH expressions may be nested and may be put anywhere. Try expanding the following query:
</p>
<pre>
WITH (
f(a, b) = WITH (
f1(x) = b-x,
f2(x) = x+x
) f1(a)*f2(b)
) f(foo, with(x=bar) x)
</pre>
{% endfunc %}
