Fortunately, it is possible with an app called sideview utils, <A href="http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22279/sideview-utils">available</A> on Splunkbase. You'll need convert your views to advanced XML if they aren't already, so there is definitely more complexity, but then you'll be able to pass parameters with ease.</P> <P><A href="http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22279/sideview-utils">Sideview Utils on Splunkbase</A></P> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:47:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84193#M5400 David 2011-04-19T15:47:59Z Re: How to use parameter q from the URL in the View XML https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84194#M5401 <P>Which modules from SideViewUtils should I use to achieve this??</P> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 09:39:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84194#M5401 tkadale 2011-04-25T09:39:23Z Re: How to use parameter q from the URL in the View XML https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84195#M5402 <P>Redirector and URLLoader are the two main players, and then the Pulldown, TextField and Checkbox modules themselves prepopulate so they play a role too. Download Sideview Utils and read through the several pages of documentation in the 'general techniques &gt; linking' section.</P> Tue, 26 Jul 2011 06:05:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84195#M5402 sideview 2011-07-26T06:05:43Z Re: How to use parameter q from the URL in the View XML https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84196#M5403 <P>Does thi need sive ViewUtils app.</P> <P>I tried to do this and i got this error</P> <P>TypeError: <LAMBDA>() got an unexpected keyword argument 'q'</LAMBDA></P> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:53:19 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84196#M5403 ReanaKhan 2012-01-23T09:53:19Z Re: How to use parameter q from the URL in the View XML https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84197#M5404 <P>Please provide the XML snippet showing the module definition where this feature is used.</P> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:27:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84197#M5404 hexx 2012-01-23T22:27:46Z Re: How to use parameter q from the URL in the View XML https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84198#M5405 <P>This should be asked as a separate question. <BR /> However what are you trying to do? It looks very strange. metadata type="sources" will contain only sources - there will be no host fields and if "summer2" is a hostname, and if $host$ comes from some other pulldown you haven't included, that contributes a hostname, then I'd expect the search to always return 0 results. Also you're using HiddenSearch instead of Search so, if you're using Sideview's modules that wont work at all... etc... <BR /> But lets start with the full XML, what you're trying to do, and lets move it to a different question.</P> Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:47:57 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-parameter-q-from-the-URL-in-the-View-XML/m-p/84198#M5405 sideview 2012-01-25T17:47:57Z
