Ability to select multiple pods on a dashboard?

[Rylon]

Would it be possible to enable multi-select in the dropdowns for resources, for example when analysing CPU usage for a particular set of pods, it would be very useful to be able to select all instances of a given pod, to easily compare them on a single graph?

Great idea! There are a few changes that would be needed to support this, for all dashboards with the pod dropdown:

• Enable multi-select on the pod variable (+ var.query.selectionOptions.withMulti(true))
• Modify queries that use pod="$pod" to become pod=~"${pod:pipe}"
• Ensure {{pod}} is used in all legends (+ prometheus.withLegendFormat('{{pod}} something'))
• Add a Pod column to tables that require it
