When you want to use the lookup function, you need to turn on tracking or increment to enable the meta table

#tsd.core.meta.enable_tsuid_tracking = true
#tsd.core.meta.enable_tsuid_incrementing = true

Do you mean these configs?

[deamerfire]

Yes, you should enable one of these config and you can use lookup endpoint

thanks,our opentsdb operator says use these configs will make opentsdb lose performance，so I will try another way to get variables in grafana
