How do you hide a panel based on a drop-down selection? (Static Options)

UMDTERPS — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 19:28:38 GMT

Hi!

I have a drop-down menu that has 3 static options, "Server," "Non-Server," and "All."

How do I hide a panel if a user selects "Server" or "Non-Server"?

If you're familiar with token setting, you can set/unset to view/not view a panel. Search for this "How can I show/hide panels dynamically with tokens?" posted by "thiagoded" for more details.

Set a token based on the selected drop-down item and make your panel dependent on that token. See this example stolen from https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.4/Viz/tokens#Conditional_operations_with_form_inputs

<form> <label>Just an example</label> <fieldset submitButton="false"> <input type="radio" token="server_tok"> <label>Select a time range</label> <choice value="server">Server</choice> <choice value="nonserver">Non-Server</choice> <choice value="all">All</choice> <default>All</default> <change> <condition label="Server"> <set token="show_panel">1</set> </condition> <condition label="Non-Server"> <set token="show_panel">1</set> </condition> <condition label="All"> <unset token="show_panel"/> </condition> </change> </input> </fieldset> <row> <panel depends=$show_panel$> ...

Where does the below XML go in the panel I want to hide? Is the below XML all I need?

 <panel depends=$show_panel$>

For example, this is sample panel code I have of a panel I want to hide, where does the XML go in the XML to hide the panel?

</>OMG, posting is so much different now with the new format. </>

I thought it was apparent.

<panel depends=$show_panel$> <title>Servers and Computers</title> <single> <search> <query>|inputlookup data.csv | search snum = "$system$" |search rack="$sys$" | table systrem os rack | dedup ip </query> <earliest>-60m@m</earliest> <latest>now</latest> </search> <option name="drilldown">none</option> <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option> </single> </panel>

Ahh, I see, it has to in the actual panel header. However, the set and unset tagging does the opposite of I want it to do. The panel does not appear when a user selects "All." I changed the XML to the following, but its giving me an error, "Unexpected close tag"

Seems like a misleading error message because you appear to have a *missing* close tag.
