### Falcon LogScale templates and variables

To add a new Falcon LogScale query variable, refer to [Add a query variable](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/variables/variable-types/add-query-variable/). Use your Falcon LogScale data source as your data source. Fill out the query field with your LQL query and select a Repository from the drop-down menu. The template variable will be populated with the first column from the results of your LQL query.

After creating a variable, you can use it in your Falcon LogScale queries using [Variable syntax](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/variables/syntax/). For more information about variables, refer to [Templates and variables](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/variables/).
