Loki supports the special **Ad hoc filters** variable type.
You can use this variable type to specify any number of key/value filters, and Grafana applies them automatically to all of your Loki queries.
For more information, refer to [Add ad hoc filters][add-template-variables-add-ad-hoc-filters].
For more information, refer to [Add ad hoc filters](ref:add-template-variables-add-ad-hoc-filters).
## Use $\_\_auto variable for Loki metric queries
Consider using the `$__auto` variable in your Loki metric queries, which will automatically be substituted with the [step value](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/datasources/loki/query-editor/#options) for range queries, and with the selected time range's value (computed from the starting and ending times) for instant queries.

Utilizing Loki's indexed labels in combination with Grafana's template variables provides a powerful way to interactively explore and visualize log data. Template variables allow users to create dynamic queries, selecting and filtering logs based on various labels, such as job names, instance IDs, severity levels, or any other contextual information attached to the log entries.
In conclusion, Loki's label extraction and indexing mechanisms are key components that contribute to its ability to handle vast amounts of log data efficiently. By making use of labels and template variables, users can easily gain valuable insights from their log data and troubleshoot issues effectively.
