Can you have multiple responses shown in the Grafana Query inspector

Question

I have multiple queries in promQL and influxQL in the edit panel in Grafana. All of the results are shown on the graph above the queries. I also want to see the results of these queries in the Query inspector window in Grafana, but only one of the results shows. I can see that Grafana calculates all of the results but overwrites them in the Query inspector window. Is there a way to display the results of all queries in the Query inspector?

If you use VictoriaMetrics, then multiple queries can be written inside parenthesis (q1, ..., qN). This works similar to UNION statement from SQL - time series with duplicate names and duplicate sets of labels are removed from the response. For example, if q1 returns m{foo="bar"} and m{foo="baz"}, while q2 returns m{foo="bar"} and m{x="y"}, then (q1, q2) response will contain three time series:

• m{foo="bar"}
• m{foo="baz"}
• m{x="y"}

While the m{foo="baz"} from q2 will be removed from the output even if it has different datapoints.
