Allow more parameters in topology view dashboard_url_templates.service #12401
Description
Feature Description
Allow more parameters in ui_config.dashboard_url_templates.service.
Parameters like {{Service.Meta.xxx}}.
This was actually allowed and worked back in version 1.9.x
Use Case(s)
Using Consul meta to provide links in topology visualization. For example, when registering service with:
meta {
dashboard = "G7Z29GzMGz"
alloc_id = NOMAD_ALLOC_ID
}and
ui_config:
dashboard_url_templates:
service: !unsafe "https://grafana.service.consul/d/{{Service.Meta.dashboard}}"resulting link in the UI should be https://grafana.service.consul/d/G7Z29GzMGz

Hey @nahsi
Just curious, Is there any other specific parameters you'd like to see?

Hello @Amier3
I don't think so. Ability to use meta covers all my needs :)

Service.Meta would be hugely useful for us too! We use a multi-tier environment approach (testing, integration, production, with dozens of instances in each) and have datadog tagged accordingly for our environment matrix, but can't match them up for these consul dashboard links because the consul namespace is
testing-rx8where in datadog it maps toenv: testing, app-id: rx8Amier3 commentedon Mar 14, 2022
Hey @nahsi ,
We talked about this internally and we think it'd be a welcome addition to consul 👍 ! We don't know where this would fit in the roadmap yet, but I added the
help-wantedtag if you or anyone else want to raise a PR for this. If you do, just let me know and I can provide context on what would need to be changed.Nikhil172913832 commentedon Jun 30, 2026
Hi @Amier3 , I'd love to raise a PR for this. Could you provide the additional context needed to make the required changes?
