How to create a drilldown to another window in splunk dashboard?

splunker2022 — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 15:37:06 GMT

i have a table in dashboard generated from stats and a time picker in my dashboard. Based on value selected in timepicker the dashboard table value changes.The column values are not links. the first column has error message values which will be unique .if i click on a value in the 1st column then the events having those message (field.msg) should be displayed in another window. this is applicable for all values in that first column

Thanks for ur time and ur intention to help...

You can use a drilldown on the table to set a token to the value of the first column and use that token in the search of another panel in the dashboard. You could even make the second panel depend on the existence of the token being set so that it only becomes visible when the token has been defined by the drilldown.

Obviously, I don't have access to your data and you haven't provided the searches you are using so here is a runanywhere example in a SimpleXML dashboard format.

<row> <panel> <title>Groups</title> <table> <search> <query>| gentimes start=-1 increment=10s | rename starttime as _time | fields - endhuman endtime starthuman | eval count=random() % 20 | eval group=random() % 2 | eval item=random() % 10 + (10 * group) | stats sum(count) as total by group</query> <earliest>-15m</earliest> <latest>now</latest> </search> <option name="drilldown">cell</option> <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option> <drilldown> <set token="groupchoice">$click.value$</set> </drilldown> </table> </panel> <panel depends="$groupchoice$"> <title>Selected group</title> <table> <search> <query>| gentimes start=-1 increment=10s | rename starttime as _time | fields - endhuman endtime starthuman | eval count=random() % 20 | eval group=random() % 2 | eval item=random() % 10 + (10 * group) | where group=$groupchoice$ | stats sum(count) as total by item</query> <earliest>-15m</earliest> <latest>now</latest> </search> <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option> </table> </panel> </row>

I would suggest going through Splunk Drilldown Documentation as it'll give you all the details with example to set this up.
