Hi Team,  
1)I want to add a graph in Query Analytics dashboard as like PMM1 with server selection option.  
please find attached screenshot(attached screenshot is of PMM1) which I want to add in PMM2 as like PMM1.  
2)If it’s not possible within the Query Analytics dashboard. how can I add these metrics with this service name selection option?&nbsp;

Hi Sujit,  
when I open the dashboard settings and make dashboard to “editable”, then I see the variables and all other settings like in PMM1.  
When I click on the “$node\_name” variable, I can see its settings.   
Changing the “Hide” option to empty makes the variable visible on the dashboard top and I can select a specific host.Is that what you were looking for?  
I’d suggest saving the dashboard under a different name if you change anything from the default settings.  
Greetings,  
Steffen
