How to hide all form input filters in a dashboard by default?

lakromani — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 22:25:15 GMT

In dashboard, if you add input, you will see a text Hide Filters.
I would like all the filters to be hidden in one dashboard by default.
The users need to click Show Filters.

Searching around and did not find anything.

My approach has been to put all of the filters in a panel at the top of the dashboard with no chart, table, etc. code in it (see below), then have a filter on the dashboard that does a Hide/Show on the panel. Unless there is at least one filter in the panel, Splunk will discard the panel. So, start with this, add some filters, then discard this filter.

<panel>
  <title>XXXX User Input Filters</title>
  <input type="multiselect" token="YYYY" searchWhenChanged="true">
    <label>Select XXXX </label>
    <choice value="*">All </choice>
    <choice value="A">First</choice>
    <choice value="B">Second</choice>
    <choice value="C">Third</choice>
    <default>A,C </default>
    <valuePrefix>MyField="</valuePrefix>
    <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
    <delimiter> OR </delimiter>
  </input>
</panel>

Try editing your nav links to include a querystring with hideFilters=True

Did not work.

True also need to be quoted, so it should be some like this:

hidefilters='true'
hideFilters='true'
hideFilters='True'

Would it easier or cleaner to put it on top of the XML in the dashboard or form like the similar options listed here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML?

Normal a dashboard starts like this:
<form>
Change it to:
<form hideFilters="true">
And you are done

Is it possible to remove hideFilters or showFilters link completely and show all the filters as default?
I am not able to remove them after upgrading Splunk to 6.5.2.

Dont know. If some works with one version and not with other, make a support case.

Can I eliminate "Hide Filters" text from dashboard?

Re: How to hide all form input filters in a dashboard by default?

With CSS you can. Here is the CSS you need to add to a file in your app.

/* hide global input hiding button in 6.5+ */
a.hide-global-filters {
  display: none !important;
}

Alternatively, you can put this in a hidden row in the dashboard.

<row depends="$hiddenCSS$">
  <html>
    <style>
      a.hide-global-filters {
        display: none !important;
      }
    </style>
  </html>
</row>

You have to modify the source:

<form hideFilters="true">
...

This will work even with a default dashboard where you cannot modify the query string.
